MANCHESTER, NH – There are a few bands that meld so many styles together within their music that they come up with their own word to describe their sound. It’s a unique and cohesive blend in simultaneous fashion, with a dedicated fan base usually giving it some legitimacy. With Dopethrone from Montreal, they combine sludge, stoner, thrash and death metal to create a style they like to refer to as “slutch”.
On November 20 at Jewel in Manchester, metalheads and people who enjoy loud music will be coming to see them perform. The show is being presented by Intrinsic Events with Temple of the Fuzz Witch and Hobo Wizard rounding out the bill starting at 7 p.m.
I had a talk with vocalist and guitarist Vincent Houde about Dopethrone’s latest album, a cocktail he makes to coat his throat before performing and looking forward to touring around the United States after a series of mishaps over the years that prevented the band from doing so. Website: Jewel Music Center 69 Canal St, Manchester, NH Tickets Rob Duguay : Back in May, Dopethrone released a new album titled “Broke Sabbath”, so what was the experience like making the album and did you guys aim to do anything differently this time around than with your previous releases? Vincent Houde : We don’t want to be that band who always does the same thing, so we always try out different ideas both songwise and with the recording equipment that we use. During the writing, it was a very different process.
I wouldn’t say i.
