101 sludge metal band recommendations
'cause all I ever see is people talking about the same 5 sludge bands on tumblr, I thought I’d make a list of some lesser-known/underrated stuff.
tried to include a little description/synopsis for most of them so you can decide if it might be for you or not and a link to one of their releases for you to check out because its a very long list. I’ve compiled everything here into a youtube playlist if you’d prefer to listen that way.
Black Market Ministry - harsh, raw and dark, if you like Eyehategod and Buzzov•en you should have a good time with them.
Drip - features members of Eyehategod, if you like Eyehategod you’ll probably like this
Grim Earth - almost powerviolece-y, newer band but reminiscent of old school sludge
Gloomy Sunday - almost like a mix of Electric Wizard, Crowbar and Eyehategod
Leak - I’d recommend them if you’re a fan of Acid Bath and Alice In Chains
13 - One of Liz Buckingham’s bands before she joined Electric Wizard, grim, grating, everything sludge should be.
