Stoner Rock
Also occasionally referred to as desert rock/metal,
it doesn't take a genius to figure out what the name "stoner rock"
refers to, though whether or not it's an appropriate term or not is
another matter.
Bands in the genre focus on 70's rock/metal influences and a
psychedelic edge.
The single band most often noted as an influence or soundalike to
others in this field is unquestionably
Kyuss,
who in their relatively short career basically invented the
genre, though bands such as
Monster Magnet
and
Fu Manchu
deserve a mention as well.
