[Music] Sludge/Stoner Metal

[Badpaladin]

Who else here is down with the slow-tempo goodness that is sludge/stoner? I love how in these subgenres, there's really no such thing as a "pure" sludge or "pure stoner band. Post your shit! Here's some stuff to lend an example to those who aren't familiar with this genre, so they can get themselves acquainted, and some of my personal favorites:

With a bit more post-metal in it (yes Longview, it is a genre):


With some more straight up progressive metal:


A little more southern groove added to the mix:

[Kashydan]

mastodon is made of pure awesomeness, gotta love their stuff

Well, this is unexpected. Bad, I thought you weren't a fan.

Anyway, some of the more commonly known heavy hitters.





But stoner isn't all like that. Some of it relies on creating a loose groove.

[Iyarashii]

Though i am neither of the things you listed, still a good song :P

Something I've been getting into recently:



Hank Williams III, in addition to writing amazing country/bluegrass, also dabbles in Sludge/Hardcore.

[Destrina]

No mention of Monster Magnet yet, crazy.

Well. here's Melt.


Edit: While I love Mastodon to death (tied for my favorite band), they aren't Stoner/Sludge. They started a sub-genre, Dirty Southern Metal(I think that's what it's called), and are now Prog-Metal (my favorite genre) with a side of Death Metal. They definitely do have some sludge/stoner tendencies though.

Crowbar has a lot of good stuff, and they're also an awesome live band.




Static tensions must be my favorite sludge album.
