Fun Stuff > BAND
tell me about bands that could be labeled as sludge bands
a pack of wolves:
Acid Bath are kinda fun, but they've got too much of the southern rock in there for me to ever think of them as a top sludge pick. They'd be a great starting point for anyone massively into stoner rock and wanting something harsher though.

Fully backed. They were great with Closure.
Spluff:
Acid Bath are kind of like a sludge band doing covers of Monster Magnet.
Mr. Doctor:
I believe that Acid Bath are a perfect example of sludge metal with a bit of nice flavours and I obviously see them as a top pick. The southern rock influences just make the music richer. On the other hand I fail to see any Monster Magnet in their music except in the second album but the debut it's more in the sludge side, God... Just listen to Dr. Seuss is Dead. Unless people like the sludge vocals to be just completely lame with a guy with a throat problem a la Eyehategod. Don't take it wrong, I love Eyehategod but it feels like everyone is doing the same thing after them.
Nodaisho:
That's not at all true. Now people are just copying... whatever band started the prog-sludge trend that Baroness, Mastodon, and a bunch of other bands I can't remember off the top of my head are doing. Was it Neurosis?
Acid bath isn't really a straightforward sludge band, I like them, but they aren't wholly sludge. Then again, neither are a lot of the ones I'm seeing recommended. I could be biased, though, I tend to think of sludge as what happens when black flag meet black sabbath in Louisiana, so it would take a whole lot more southern rock influence to make me think of something as not sludge than it appears to for wolves.
Mr. Doctor:
Well, by the way you put it, I do take back what I said about Acid Bath being a "perfect" example of sludge, but I would still highly recommend it if someone wants to get into sludge and after a whole page I was surprised that they weren't mentioned since it's not like they are so not-sludge or underground.
I also agree with Nodaisho that it takes a huge load of southern rock influence to make a sludge band less sludge because almost every sludge band has southern rock in their music to some degree imo
But Yeah, we shouldn't discuss to much about the subject. Neurosis is amazing, one of my favorite bands ever mkay... Through Silver In Blood is... brilliant.
