Exivious are fucking amazing.
Everyone in this club should check out them, Cynic, Gordian Knot, Obscura, Atheist, Aghora, Revocation, Spastic Ink, Counter-World Experience, Panzerballet, Aghora, Gorod, Augury, etc.
I already know of Cynic, Gordian Knot, Obscura, Aghora, Spastic Ink, Gorod and Augury. Most of them are awesome bands. I don't really enjoy bands like Obscura and Augury, though. It's not that I hate the mix of Death Metal with jazzy or prog elements. I just find these bands to be rather forgettable when it comes to song-writting. They play a brand of Death Metal that is way too focused on the lead melody for my taste. It's not melodic death-like melodic, but it still doesn't suit my taste. I don't hate what they do, though. I think they are respectable bands.
On the other hand, I love Cynic, Spastic Ink and Aghora. These bands are fantastic. Each one of these have their very own sound, unique production, awesome song-writting (especially Spastic Ink and Cynic, because Aghora isn't quite on par with those when it comes to the guitar riffs). Talking bout Aghora I suggest everybody who likes them to listen to Sean Malone's solo project. It's a treat for the ears.
I still need to listen to the other bands you mentionned. I remember listenning to Atheist back when I was 17 or 18. I didn't like it back then, but I think I might appreciate what they do better now.

The album is so bluesy and soooo what I expect of a good stoner metal band. It's awesome !
You don't expect much from stoner / metal bands then.
Lol, shut the fuck up. I don't know what makes you think that you can judge me without even trying to understand why I'm enjoying their stuff. Seriously... quit criticizing if you don't even when to keep and open-mind.
The music is simple, yet effective. The ambience and the production is what got me to appreciate the whole thing. I love it because it's calm and there is a focus on the blues elements of the stoner genre. It's enjoyable for me. But hey, since you're the best in here, why don't you tell me and Bill why we suck so much for liking this? And maybe you could tell me what I should listen to to be cooler.
See, you should drop that contemptuous behavior of yours. And not just when you talk to me. You remind me of the teenagers who were always looking for a fight in high school whenever you write such a mindless and openly demeaning.
