Sludge metal?

[EternalEnemy]

Im unfamiliar with this genre. Tell me some of the known bands, pioneers and such. You know, so that i get the idea.

Thanks in advance.

 

[AjDeath]

Bands like Crowbar?

 

[J.]

Iron Monkey
Eyehategod
Crowbar

some others: Fudge Tunnel, Goatsblood, and perhaps Old Man Gloom

 

[RosesofShadow]

I'm not too familiar either, but can i say Acid Bath?

 

[J.]

yeah, Acid Bath works. Good recommendation there. Awesome band.

5ive is another one. Instrumental sludge. Pelican can be considered instrumental sludge/doom

 

[E6V6I6L]

Acid Bath is good.

if you like them check out Agents Of Oblivion and Deadboy And The Elephantmen. they're both really different from AB but worth checking out (they Dax's, the singer, bands after AB broke up).

i got into AB first and then found out about his other bands and like them just as much (if not more).


i'm drawing a blank on any other sludge bands right now though (except for stuff that's been mentioned already).

 

[RosesofShadow]

Yeah Acid Bath is really good. So does Isis count too? Isis i must say is good. And yeah Pelican too.

 

[AjDeath]

Crowbar is the ultimate. Love everything they do.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

wormwood?

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Pelican aren't sludge, but they rule anyways.

Buried At Sea is awesome sludge doom.

 

[Scourge of Malice]

id say Pelican has elements of sludge, but definitely not purely sludge.

 

[chemicalburn]

How can you forget EyeHateGod, also Mistress and Bongzilla are worth checking out.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Wormwood is good, too.

 

[Edgecrusher]

SOILENT GREEN is people!!!!

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

And also good, coincidentally.

 

[Morbid_Corpse]

Oh and don't forget the early Melvins. They were a big influence for the bands like Eyehategod.


Isis, Pelican and 5ive all worth checking out too. They usually appeal to just about anyone into stoner/doom/sludge

 

[Edgecrusher]

As long as we're going to mention Soilent Green and Acid Bath, might as well mention Goatwhore. Though not purely sludge, they're more of a hybrid band.

 

[V.V.V.V.V.]

Sludgy blackened death metal, really. Recommended/seconded.
