TOP 10 VANCOUVER SLUDGE/DOOM BANDS: 1. Bison

Maybe it’s the abundance of B.C. bud that explains why so many Vancouver bands tune low and play slow.  (Saaaaay maaaan, you in The Union?)  Cuz even if the city has a history of environmentalism, they’re sure dumping a whole buncha toxic sludge into the local music scene!  OK, so I might be using the term “sludge” somewhat, erm, liberally for this list…but if you narrowed it down to bands that sound just like EHG, I don’t think you’d get a top 10 from any city.  And with that said, you might be surprised at just how many heavy bands there are out there on Canada’s left coast.

10. Black Wizard

9. Aquanaut

8. Hoopsnake

7. Weirding

6. Funeral Circle

5. Haggatha

4. Mendozza

3. Baptists

2. Anciients

1. Bison

Anciients might be B.C.’s next big thing, but there are none bigger than Bison.  The Metal Blade alums are no longer contractually obligated to mention their home province in their moniker…and besides, I’m pretty sure they could mop the floor with any other band named Bison.  I’ve seen these guys open for the likes of Sleep and Weedeater, and play at least one crazy gig at the Bovine that was packed to the tits, erm, sweaty man boobs.  They bring it every time!

Alas, after taking a slightly more melodic direction on their last record, Lovelessness, they’ve gone full-out psychedelic on their brand-new, self-issued One Thousand Needles EP, which consists of two songs each over nine minutes long.  No wonder the A&R man didn’t hear a single!  Check out this bitchin’ live rendition of title track below:
