metal/doom

The first thing you learn about Floor is their "bombstring." This is a bass string stretched so far that, when played, it makes a thwackita sound, with a tonal frequency so low humans can't hear it, but can only feel it in their large intestines. So, in their heyday, when many weak n-metal bands employed a seventh guitar string tuned to a low B, Floor was tuned down to Q. Somehow, they managed to embed soaring melodies in the heaviness, which has not yet been outdone. We are, as a city, lucky to host these doom-pop-metal folks' rare reunion show.
