as for more traditionnal drone, i've been able to get into some boris, earth and yob , but for some reason i really cant get into sunn 0)))

may as well fit in here. Xasthur does use some droning in their music, though it isn't the same KIND as the other bands mentioned thus far. I do really like Xasthur though as well.

I couldn't exactly tell you myself. As far as i know, sludge and stoner may as well be the same thing. They both seem to rely a lot on pentatonic style riffing, downtuned, with very "muddy" bottom heavy distortion. They are both a good deal faster and more "musical" than drone doom. Drone doom tends to have even THICKER, hugely distorted and sustaining tones and don't have the bluesy, rock-ish pentatonic style riffs. Drone doom is more concerned with a slow evolution of sound based around the same kind of ideas, repeated but slightly twisted. Stoner and sludge seem to go through more progressions more quickly.

if i recall, sludge is bands like godflesh right?
if so sludge is slow while trying to be as aggresive as possible
stoner is more using black sabbath-ish riffs

the way i see drone is essentially using the distortion itself as an instrument opposed to the instrument creating the distortion

I really need to get into this genre. The problem is, I really don't know where to begin since there's been quite a bunch of bands mentioned already.

Recs plz? I notice Earth mentioned a few times, anything else?

 

[Demilich]

Earth - Earth 2 is a classic!

I don't know though, I'm not sure that it'd stand up to more modern titles for a beginner getting into the genre.

I'd say their later album, Pentastar, is more accessible and probably more appropriate to get new people into this kind of thing. What do I know? Not much!

 

[reality is but a dream]

like someone said earlyer, jesu , then earth

 

[Manbient]

Jesu is probably the best bet to start. It's catchy... CATCHY DRONE! that never happens

 

[Tubbs]

Oic! Thanks a bunch for the recs. I'll make sure to check them both out.

 

[Don Corleone]

i see you liked coil, tubbs eh? awesome band, arent they? pretty wicked

 

[Tubbs]

Of course! They've quickly became one of my favorites.

...But please don't tell me they do drone stuff! I don't want to find out that they do and I've been unaware of it this whole time.

It kinda takes the fun out of thinking what drone in general would sound like, since I think I've never heard it.

 

[Manbient]

well, some earlier works used some drones.
