Albums currently kicking your ass

In-crowd sludge, fuck yeah.

 

[CiG]

All sludge is in-crowd because most people don't give a fuck about sludge.

 

[suckerleaf]

Not true. I like Sludge and I'm so old I don't even know what the in crowd is.

 

[CiG]

What I mean by that is, most sludge fans are very much deep into the style, whereas being into thrash metal doesn't necessarily mean you're deep into the thrash style.

 

[HamburgerBoy]

I've always thought of sludge as having a lot of somewhat casual fans (dudes that basically get into metal via Down and shit and stop at Eyehategod or whatever) and then the pasty dudes that walk around on campus with Buzz*oven patches on their jackets and stuff and probably think they're the grimiest people in existence. Not that Buzzov*en is even that obscure. Actually I just realized I don't know anything about sludge fans because I hardly ever see them on my forums, I just know guys that mostly don't like sludge but they regularly worship Acid Bath and Dystopia as the most fukked up vile shit ever man yo kind of stuff to round out their metal credentials.

Thrash just seems to have so much more quantity that it allows for a wider gradient of fandom but I'm probably just extremely ignorant of anything beyond the top ~10 or so most popular sludge bands.

 

[suckerleaf]

It's certainly not a genre I'm tits deep in but I do like bands like Acid Bath ( actually I love Acid Bath) Melvins, 16, Eyehategod , Rwake, etc.

 

[CiG]

Maybe you're right, I'm probably just talking shit.

Next big GMD thread: List each subgenres certified in-crowd bands.

[EspaDa]

Sludge is great. Worship Neurosis or die.

 

[CiG]

Neurosis are meh if we're talking sludge. Give me Grief, Eyehategod, Buzzov-en, Iron Monkey, Fistula, Cavity... I think you get my point.

 

[Krow]

Not s fan of artsy sludge either. Give me the depression filled drug rage kind plz.

Grief needs reissues.

 

[CiG]

For real, especially the first record. Pay out the ass for that shit.

 

[EspaDa]

Neurosis are meh if we're talking sludge. Give me Grief, Eyehategod, Buzzov-en, Iron Monkey, Fistula, Cavity... I think you get my point.

I love EHG but you can't go wrong with Through Silver in Blood. You probably
haven't listened to it for a long time, it's a top notch metal album. One of my all time fav for sure.

 

[Astrum]

Been a casual doom metal fan for a long time, mostly the essentials and with a good knowledge of stoner/lo fi stuff. First go around with these guys, and what the hell how have I not heard this album before. So good.

 

[no country for old wainds]

get THE SKULL too.

 

[Vilden]

The best live album ever! Better than sludge metal.

 

[Oblivious Maximus]

For real, especially the first record. Pay out the ass for that shit.

Already out from Fuck Yoga.

 

[Master_Yoda77]

Not their best, but how can you not love Killer on the Loose and the title track? Also, definitely their best album art. Fucking love that shit.

Livin' and Dyin'

Coroner - Punishment for Decadence

I'm in a rare thrash mood just lately.
