      You mean where in this album? Check out the two tracks I linked in the post text. However, it’s rather two standalone bluesy tracks than a proper mix of stoner and blues. But they’re good.

      For quite different blues-metal, try Mamaleek’s ‘Diner Coffee’ and ‘Vida Blue’. Some of their older albums like ‘Come and See’ and ‘Via Dolorosa’ have bluesy undertones too.

      Oxbow’s ‘The Narcotic Story’ has kind of a mix of blues with sludge/doom/noise-rock. So far it’s the only band I’ve found that’s somewhat similar to Mamaleek.

          Ah, frankly with Stinking Lizaveta I just grind this album — listened to some of their live tunes and whatnot, but keep returning to this record. ‘Caught Between Worlds’ is also alright, but I don’t remember if it has much in the way of blues.

              Well, it could actually be that I’m due for a relisten — put on ‘Caught Between Worlds’ after posting the comment above, and it turns out that it’s very stoner-riffy. I happen to like that style, with Om and Buried at Sea being my favorites in stoner/doom, and Unleashed on the death-metal side.

                  It’s more that Om don’t do noodling, and focus on bass riffage instead. Coconuts are kinda the same way. Karla Kvlt’s ‘Thunderhunter’ is also pretty good.

                  Weeping Sores, Foreshadower, Blóð and Her Highness may be in that vein too, but I keep forgetting how exactly they sound. They’re more doom / sludge.

                  Stabat Mater is a good example of how I like doom sound, but turns out it’s a project by a dude who’s in Nazi-metal scene, so I’m out some nice tunes. :\

                    oof, finding that out after you already love the sound is the worst. coconuts first then, bass over noodling suits me fine
