that's weird
Gore were Dutch...Peel faves in the late 80's (got a couple of sessions on tape somewhere...) I used to have some stuff but it went they way of a lot of my music...to pay the bills
I was asking in a local shop last week whether Gore's stuff had been reissued on cd, bloke had some on vinyl himself but knew nowt about any cd reissues.
Lo and behold...couple of days later I found a copy of Mean Man's Dream for £2

Yers, yes, fuckin' yes
Or Sleep's Holy Mountain by Sleep
or anything by Bongzilla
I second a hundred times the Electric Wizard and Ramesses mentions too. Look no further for utter musical luxury

take me to the feeling
You could check out Goatsnake, not so much crushingly heavy but more old-school good time rock'n'roll Sabbath...they even state on their album sleeve that they use exclusively Sabbath riffs!

On a bit of break...
When my son gets home I'll ask him for a list...he is lead guitarist in a death metal band and does the sort of stuff you mention, chico (and don't me and the neighbours know it...)

easy g said:mine too
hopefully seeing Khanate next week
I saw SunnO))) recently having never previously heard their stuff and it was too cool for words. Ritualised heavy riff worship - in robes and a whole lot more musical than I had been led to believe.
Otherwise, the work Iron Monkey contributed to the canon of the Vinum Sabbathi, (strangely managing to build on Fudge Tunnel's vision, I always feel) remains, for me, unparalleled.
Goatsnake rock, ain't no doubt, and I just heard a track by 'Godsize' on a Terrorizer CD from a while back - shit ain't bad either!

Pelican are next on my list. 'Mogwai-meets-Metallica', apparently.
Oooh, Pelican are rather awesome - go forth and buy immediately.
Bluestreak - have you heard Red Sparowes album 'At The Silent Dawn'? Really superb, outshines Isis in my view. I do like Isis a lot, but when I saw them at Primavera this year they were awesome until about halfway through when I noticed how polished and shiny they were...not taking anything away from them, I really enjoyed seeing them and all, but definitely came away feeling that they lacked a little substance in some ways. Mind you, they have been touring loads, I'm sure that takes the raw edge off anyone.

Khang have become Lazarus Blackstar, with ex Murder One singer Paul Catten on vocals. Ahem, 'vokills'.
The Goblin rock, rule and release great albums. I would very much like to see them live.
You're spot on though, this is where heaviness and velvet sabbath oblivion lies.
Not yet heard the Red Sparowes, but I'm interested.
There's also Sally, following on where the Welsh legends Acrimony left off; Murder One themselves (w/ ex members of the Monkey and others) and perhaps My War. Though I don't know them too well and I suspect they're tapping the hardcore vein a little more than the sludge one. Suma are as heavy as bricks too, and if only I'd been in town when French crew Overmars hit Strasbourg last spring...
Saw a bunch of London boys with a Hungarian singer called Obiat early September, supporting the Wizard: they might be the most spaced and jamming of all the above mentioned, come to think of it. They reminded me of Acrimony too. Cheers for yr attention, I'm off now...

it all went a bit tits up at the end really- iron monkey fell out with each other and especially earache (see murder one song 'ruined by idiots) . 1/2 went back to hardcore (murder one), other 1/2 went antiseen (dukes of nothing- with ex-fabric bassist (singing) & drummer).
john paul (IM/ murder one singer + mc/producer in hip hop group tuskan raiders) then died
IM and acrimony were both fantastic live bands. first IM record (self-titled) is the best one though.
i thought i would also mentioned the mighty Thrones
