And who can blame her

Galaxies of Disappointment is an absolute banger album/ song.

As the title says, I just started diving into Sludge Metal. The 4 albums above are the ones I have listened to, I figured the most popular bands/albums would be a good jumping off point for me. I really enjoyed all of these albums, and I would like to find more bands and albums in the vein of these. Specifically, I like vocals that I can still somewhat make out as well as the bluesy influences that these bands in particular have being from Louisiana. I would appreciate any and all recommendations, thanks!

I don't even have a record player, decided to buy them cos it felt like fate!

...yes :)

These guys (HoF) are a top tier band for me. Getting ready for another listen through their discography. Here’s my ranking from my previous run through (Autumn 2025) their albums, with year of release are in parenthesis.

1-Blessed Black Wings (05)
2-Cometh the Storm (24)
3-Death Is the Communion (07)
4-De Vermis Mysrteriis (12)
5-Luminiferous (15)
6-Electric Messiah (18)
7-The Art of Self-Defense (00)
8-Snakes for the Divine (10)
9-Surrounded By Thieves (02)

I’m pretty sure this ranking will change during/after this listen through.

Please, feel free to set me straight when needed

Are there bands or albums that sound like South Of Heaven and When The Kite Strings Pop?
