I don't understand why Harvey Dosen't get much appreciation outside of their hometown of Athens GA. They are by far one of the heaviest bands to come out of the south.

I’m going through a bit of a tough time. I would like albums that are similar both sound-wise and in terms of tone and theme,
If they’re out there

New release from Self-Deprecator, this song is about the impending megaquake that will wreak havoc on the PNW.

I’ve been hearing something that sounds so similar to something else. In the song Suffering Brings Wisdom by Crowbar, the beginning sounds like The Munsters theme song. Maybe I’m just hearing similarities, does anyone else hear it?

Industrial sludge duo LAST premier new video for single, Munitions.

Potent Desperation out 10/9 via Transylvanian Recordings

I thrifted this from a savers not too long ago, was not more than 2 bucks. Signed by what appears to Phil Anselmo, Kirk Windstein, Jimmy Bower, Rex brown and one more that I’m thinking is pepper Keenan . Anyways this is just a cool find of mine and I am very pleased with this one :)

I grabbed two CDs from Bongripper recently that were $7 each, new. Quite affordable and direct through their merch website. At that price I’ll prob complete their collection eventually

Also recently grabbed a live Melvins album and the 1-12 singles 2CD comp for $15 total. These were from Shoxop, so kinda direct, but moreso very affordable as well.

I like buying direct from labels or even artists when I can because I like to support more directly and in these cases it’s also been cheaper, and I’m getting the stuff new.

Any other labels or bands that offer up their CDs directly rather than having to go through a shop?

Attempting to get doom/stonerdoom/sludge bands from wv and other Appalachian areas to make a compilation album together, its free and non profit its just me wanting to get the community together cause i believe its out there its just theres so many bands that have no following and nothing backung them yet so i wanna use this opportunity to get small bands and bigger bands from the area together to show appreciation to the music and community it has here and maybe eventually in the future a festival or something along the sorts but that takes time

Full album now available to stream, thanks for checking it out.

Curious to know who was everyone’s “gateway” band into finding sludge metal. Mine personally was Pantera, specifically the Great Southern Trendkill. Was looking for something with that southern feel/sound, and it led me to Down and Eyehategod, and I’ve been hooked since. Guess this is my long winded way of looking for sludge-adjacent bands, lol.

Just good.

I usually just see them listed as heavy metal or biker metal, but I would definitely put them in the same category as Down, CoC or Black Tooth Grin. What do you guys think?

Just want to know what are some newer sludge metal albums that have come out since 2020 that yall think are great. Any recommendations are greatly appreciated.

practice in the shower (next to the SLUDGE between the grouting) it’ll change your life.

Looking for their demos & live recordings.

I think grief is the biggest but massachusetts got them, nightstick, kilslug, upsidedown cross, full blown aids( the whole larry lifeless/ seth putnam bands whatver)

Just name one band that you like the most and why. As for me is dystopia cuz for helping me get through a shitty stage in my life

had a blast lmao
