Memorable hooks, tons of groove, a free spirit and enough riffs to fill a canyon! That is the recipe behind this band who started their journey in mid-November 2005 in Stockholm, Sweden. The idea was to write music influenced by a favoured decade in hard rock � the 70�s together with the warm fuzz of the stoner rock scene. The members come from different backgrounds but have been in the music scene for years, playing in different constellations and outfits. After a few rounds of self-released demos and landing gigs locally and abroad, Several gigs followed during the fall to promote the album and soon a short tour followed, taking the boys through Denmark, Germany and Poland. No time for rest though as new material surfaced during winter 2009/10 and soon the band entered the studio in spring 2010 to record their ambitious follow up. Finally released after gruelling hard work in March 2011, Ponamero Sundown have in these past years since their inception built up a great reputation and spread their music across the borders taking them out on the road to play to audiences and fans in Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, Poland and the UK.

| What subgenre are you suggesting them for? Maybe that video isn't a good indication of their sound, but it seems to me like hard psych rock or something |

| Well, there is no Stoner Rock tag here, it would be a hybrid of doom and hard rock, but in this case could be submitted to Sludge/Post Metal, imo. |

| The sound of this band (check the website) reminds me Witchfinder General. And this is a good thing |

Witchfinder G are placed in NWObHM but as far as I could understand from Warthur�s recent review could also be placed in doom. I�ll take a listen to the sample in a minute. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

From the sample I�ll say doom is the right place. Spirit of metal has them tagged as stoner ( http://www.spirit-of-metal.com/groupe-groupe-Ponamero_Sundown-l-en.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.spirit-of-metal.com/groupe-groupe-Ponamero_Sundown-l-en.html ). Stoner/doom goes into doom metal here on MMA unless it�s stoner/hard rock. Then it would go to hard rock. My vote is on stoner/doom though. If just one more Collab will say that sounds reasonable I�ll add them to doom. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |

I'd be okay with it in doom.
The sample on their website does sound a lot heavier than the live video |

OK I�ve added them: http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/ponamero-sundown.aspx?ac=pona" rel="nofollow - http://www.metalmusicarchives.com/ponamero-sundown.aspx?ac=pona I�m waiting for a pretty huge Musicbrainz import before I�ll touch the disco though. I�ve made a note. Thanks for the suggestion. Per site policy I�ll lock this thread now. ------------- http://www.lyngby-boldklub.dk/" rel="nofollow - Forever TRUE - Forever BLUE! https://rateyourmusic.com/~UMUR" rel="nofollow - UMUR on RYM |
