Well, Crowbar is basically THE pinnacle of Sludge Metal, so it’s kinda hard to find anything better. The buck stops with Crowbar, basically. No other sludge band can really compete.
>>130315857Crowbar is essential so you have to. I'm not an Acid Bath truther so I say take or leave them (there isn't much there anyway). Isis is more post-metal along with Neurosis, so if you need you're more esoteric side scratched check em.EyehategodDown - NOLAMelvinsCorrosion of Conformity - BlindGriefBuzzoven16Fudge Tunnel
>>130317147this, it's like trying to get into grindcore without listening to napalm death
Plenty of great bands in sludge outside the vein of crowbar or acid bath. Meth DrinkerIron MonkeyBrain OilSoilent GreenWeedeaterPrimitive Man (I can only endorse caustic, supposedly the latest album is good too but I still haven’t heard it)
Nobody said Fistula and I'm VERY disappointed in you!

>>130315857Sludge metal isn't a real genre, it's either Pixies songs with Sabbath riffs or overly drawn-out metallic hardcore with constipated vocals
>>130321011Metal isn't a real genre, it's either Rolling Stones songs with Sabbath riffs or overly distorted surf rock with scratchy vocals
>>130321056The Rolling Stones isn't a real band, it's either an Elvis rip-off on heroin or multiple variations of "Fortunate Son".
>>130315857They're always taking a dump, Crowbar.
