Definition of "Heavy"

<< < (4/11) > >>

Spluff:
As you didn't go into Sludge too much apart from mentioning Crowbar and EyeHateGod, I'll throw in a quick list from my listening experience - but damn, that list is impressive. I shall take it upon myself to listen to all the bands on there that I haven't heard yet.

Sludge:

Crowbar
EyeHateGod
Down
Corrosion of Conformity (later stuff)
Acid Bath
Buzzov*en
Fistula
Weedeater
Iron Monkey

Yeah, my sludge experience is actually pretty tiny given the genre's relationship to my tastes in general.  I think I got turned off early and never really explored the genre, I think it was the hardcore influences that did it.  I've got a couple EyeHateGod albums (that I haven't even listened to all the way through) but that's about it.  I personally tend towards the psychedelic end of the spectrum (Dead Meadow are probably my all-time favorite).  I'm not really one for the anger and general nastiness in sludge.

I gave up on this one a long time ago, yeah.  After too many talks with metal fans who say they love "heavy" music but wouldn't consider Dead Meadow, Bardo Pond, Acid Mothers Temple, etc. to be "heavy".  It really hit the fuckall level when I talked to some local college DJs who do "the heavy metal show" on the station and had NEVER EVEN HEARD OF BORIS' PINK DESPITE IT HAVING JUST MADE LIKE EVERY METAL MAGAZINE'S TOP TEN.

valley_parade:
I still think people should listen to Heavy Rock before Pink.

Then again, I may be biased because "Korosu" and "1970" are my two favorite Boris tracks.
