Also never expected a Transformers-themed stoner song, but it fits well. I'm definitely going to be checking out the rest of that album.
Oops, your name is "Unitron" and not "Unicron." I just realize that. I posted that as a joke, but there was never really a pun there in the first place. If wasn't for the fact I was confusing the names I might not have post video at all. So I am glad you like it that much for a happenstance. Positive feedback is a good thing imo.
I was planning to follow up with Optimus Prime with an anime/cartoon theme song: Gigantor. This song was part of a video, and album compilation with 90's bands doing Saturday morning cartoon theme songs. It was aptly called Saturday Morning Cartoons' Greatest Hits. So somewhere through the music video Drew Barrymore interrupts with sexual innuendo, music commentary, and then ends with a subliminal message marketing robots.
Helmet Gigantor
The next band is either Desert Rock, Stoner Rock or Space Rock, idk. I guess it is a toss up between Desert or Space Rock? There are astronauts on the album cover but yet they are singing about the desert. It could go either way.
Truckfighters - Desert Cruiser
Sorry, but I can't suck on it because it didn't suck at all.
I really liked this song a lot, not as heavy as Insulated World but that's no issue. Excellent moody alt metal, and a lot better and more interesting than bands like Deftones or Katatonia that people go apeshit over that I've yet to understand why.
Between how good Insulated World and this song is, I'm definitely going to thoroughly explore the rest of their discog someday.
One of my favorite songs from the band :)
The album it comes from has a lot of solid stuff, but I really think that you can't go wrong with any album after their first three. I like things off those too, but they're more inconsistent and they hadn't quite found their true calling yet on those early albums.
I do like Deftones somewhat, but I don't think they're amazing and their albums are honestly a bit too samey. They just have an aesthetic that I really like sometimes.
I've been rocking that album since the day it dropped.

I'll take this as a rec.
I liked this quite a bit, and is that album cover actually made by Voivod's Away? If so, I never thought I'd see the day where he'd make a hip-hop album cover.

Great alt rock/post-hardcore, parts of it kind of reminds me of Finger Eleven's Tip.

Already familiar with Lumbar, and it's good haunting and heavy doom/sludge. As far as Tad Doyle's sludge bands go though, I prefer Brothers of the Sonic Cloth.
