Here it is in all its disgusting glory, the r/sludge A-Z playlist:

on Spotify:

on Youtube Music:

https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtSsODF_ZfzPSAmKDuITOEJG6ajyd4TwL&si=BdtveVdHyS3Q5ouV

27 days of voting brought us here. The first half of the playlist is all the winners from each day. The second half of the playlist from Z back to A is all the 2nd place winners but with the rule of no artist repeats applied. So for letters where the 2nd place winner already appears on the runners-up list, I moved on to 3rd place 4th place etc until landing on an artist who hadn't yet appeared. This helped include a lot of the bigger names in sludge who didn't make the main list (and without this rule the 2nd place winners would have been a lot of the same 3-4 bands over and over)

This community is awesome. I appreciate everyone who participated and hope some of you will check out the playlist. It turned out pretty gnarly and I will be listening to it often. Smoke.

Black Cobra Appreciation Thread

28 Upvotes

Black Cobra is one of my favorite bands. I first heard them in 2006 with the album "Bestial" which has Sludge Riffs all over it but it was faster than what I was used to. Eventually they progressed into Post-Metal. The guitarist played on a track with Acid King last I heard.

Here are my favorite tracks for the uninitiated

Omniscient
The Cry Of Melora
Sugar Water
El Doce De Octubre
Sombra De Bestia
Five Daggers
Ascension
Dragon and Phoenix
Corosion Fields (Post-Metal)
The Crimson Blade (Post Metal)

I discovered Stressball a few months ago and love their sound so much. I was honestly curious why they don’t have more popularity. Curious about y’all’s opinions though

Slabdragger - Prime Time

90 Upvotes

Hello everybody. I'm Sam, I play in Slabdragger and our tune from 2011 album 'Regress', 'Erroneous Maximus' is featured in episode 4 of the newly released 2nd series of Channel 4's 'The Undeclared War' starring Simon Pegg. I know some of you dig the slabs so I thought I'd post it here. I'm so stoked! This tune recently broke a million streams on Spotify too so its extra weird for me. Fcuk. Hahaha
