What's it all about?

Quote:People ask, "What is Southern Lord? Are you a stoner rock label? Are you a doom metal label? Are you a death metal label?" Our label puts out heavy, intense music, that's all. We've been lucky to escape the "stoner rock" label. Would you call Black Sabbath a stoner rock band? No. They're a heavy band. I just think labeling music in general is kinda silly. Sabbath are, for lack of a better word, the grandfathers of "doom metal," but Melvins, St. Vitus, Trouble and Pentagram are just as important: They took Sabbath and fused it with more of a heavy metal thing, and that fusion comprises what I would call doom metal.

When things look full of doom,
I think of Katya.
