the sludge/southern metal thread

[genocide roach]

one more effort to bring attention to the board.

so what are your favorites of the style? i'm a big fan of acid bath, soilent green, and the latest work by phazm. also the more artsy sludge like mouth of the architect.

Hmm...seems I've been missing a genre

Have to take some time and check it out...
Will return with my two cents when I have checked some

OK....did some research.....looked on the site you supplied, and was completely surprised to see COC on there. Now, I know that I haven't listened to them for a looooooong time (saw them play when I was 21....ummm let's just say that was in another life lol) but as I recall, they were a punk band back in the day. As for the other bands, I hate to say it but the only other band I've heard of was Black Sabbath, and for me, I don't think I could ever put a "genre" to them (with the way they changed with different singers Ozzy, Dio etc.....).
Anyway, metal will always be metal, no matter what the label
