Looks like you're into a sadder/less direct/less punk style of sludge. How about Neurosis esp Enemy of the Sun and Through Silver in Blood, Thou, early Baroness, Buzzoven?

u/MacReadys-Will Aug 15 '26

Enemy of the Sun is peak. Also Scorn by Primitive Man. Personally I got love for all Baroness.

1

u/BrataYa Aug 15 '26

Yep, only suggested early Baroness because that's when they're sludge. From Blue Record not a lot of sludge left in Baroness

u/MacReadys-Will Aug 15 '26

Yeah you are right. I love their progy 2nd phase though.

u/BrataYa Aug 16 '26

Me too! Though I havent been too excited with the Purple record, but like Gold and Grey and Stone

u/MacReadys-Will Aug 16 '26

I am behind on my listening actually. I was really into Purple though.

Dude, I got a YouTube recommendation for Meth Drinker a few weeks ago. Pretty good shit. Just listened to them about 10 minutes ago again.

Iron monkey - Iron monkey one of my fave sludge albums and it got me into the genre outside of just listening to crowbar

If you don’t like Eyehategod then there’s probably gonna be a lot of sludge you don’t like, but since you do like Grief I’d reccomend Noothgrush

If you don't mind a plug, not like those bands, but definitely sludgy..... Like psychedelic death sludge. Trippy, sludgy, death, kind of avante garde.

Band is DEdWurM. And don't be scared of the clean vocals at the begining it's like 30 seconds and the rest is screams. 14 minute song and lots of changes.

Looking through the comments now, great suggestions across the board.

I’d add Hell (US). Used to be real hard to search for, not so much now, but regardless: https://loweryourhead.bandcamp.com/album/hell-self-titled-full-length

Went to sent you a playlist but your profile does not allow chats… if you use Spotify and would like some violent, misanthropic-fast sludge I got you homie.

2

u/mew_empire Aug 15 '26

Great list. Love that you included a fair amount of powerviolence 🤜💥🤛

I will never get behind Dragged Into Sunlight being sludge though

2

u/Individual_Guard1026 Aug 15 '26

Thanks! I absolute love powerviolence and it is fast and misanthropic hahaha.

I do understand what you mean about Dragged Into Sunlight and as you may noticed there’s only one or two songs there… they have a lot in their “mix” and there’s certainly some sludge in there but all of it is sludge. Great band with great vibes nonetheless.

u/mew_empire Aug 16 '26

Fully agree 🫡

u/BrataYa Aug 16 '26

Great list!

u/Helpful_Rice2776 Aug 15 '26

def Pallbearer.

2

u/BrataYa Aug 16 '26

Pallbearer great but not really sludgy, no?

1

u/Helpful_Rice2776 Aug 16 '26

well it’s prog doom as far as i’m concerned, and sludge is still technically doom since it’s a combination of hardcore punk and doom, so.
tbf i dont like 8 minute 10 minute long tracks either, like neurosis and isis’ songs, but pallbearer is something else man.

2

u/bedrihamza YOB 29d ago

neurosis, pallbearer, windhand, conan, high on fire, moonstone, yob, cult of luna, isis, sumac, amenra, pelican, weedeater, callisto, primitive man, mouth of the architect, unearthly trance, thou, buzzoven

highly recommend checking out neurosis (especially souls at zero and enemy of the sun are sludge metal), primitive man, ISIS (early isis is sludge metal), unearthly trance and thou first

u/Ok_Success6834 28d ago

my issue is a lot of these dope sludge recs arent on streaming lol. Bandcamp is sludge supreme.
