Ryus: rec me sludge | Sputnikmusic

Ryus 02.20.21	thank
Relinquished 02.20.21	my fat sludge lists are plenty
Ryus 02.20.21	oh nice anything in particular i should check? ive heard most of the entry-level stuff
ReefaJones 02.20.21	Both Acid Bath albums
Ryus 02.20.21	heard em, not too big a fan. the closest ive come to loving a sludge metal album is "come to grief." i think i like the scuzzier side of the genre more
ReefaJones 02.20.21	maybe this will be more to your taste https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ
Ryus 02.20.21	it is actually
WeepingBanana 02.20.21	Sludge is a mostly dogshit genre but both Iron Monkey albums shred, tho I sort of have a feeling you already know them? I don’t really think of them as sludge but the internet does so yeah. I used to sort of like Corrupted, Grief, HHIG, and that shit but I haven’t listened in like 10 years and I don’t think it’d hold up well for me
Relinquished 02.20.21	fuck off with that dogshit comment but yea all of those bands are cake
Relinquished 02.20.21	what’s the least entry-level/popular sludge record you like? I can go from there
DominionMM1 02.20.21	are eyehategod or rwake considered entry level?
Relinquished 02.20.21	in a way ehg should be cuz they were the earlier molders of the genre, but you feel more strung out listening to them than most other bands rwake don’t get mentioned enough for EL but voices of omens should be listed as a classic
Ryus 02.20.21	"what’s the least entry-level/popular sludge record you like? I can go from there" harvey milk and grief probably
LeddSledd 02.20.21	yeah some sludge recs needed not like doomy sludge, way too slow for me
Relinquished 02.20.21	so you want sludgecore sled cuz, sludge’s gotta be a bit slow
LeddSledd 02.20.21	really? cuz when I think sludge I think Mastodon-type shit. is that an inaccurate preconception? I genuinely don't know
RadioSuicide 02.20.21	oxbow - an evil heat is absolutely essential if you dig harvey milk. eyehategod - dopesick and godflesh - streetcleaner are also up there for me.
Relinquished 02.20.21	primitive man - caustic and immersion ledge - all I hope for fister - no spirit within phantom winter - into dark science thou - the house primordial hell - s/t mizmor - yodh grime - circle of molestors indian - from all purity iron monkey - our problem eyehategod - dopesick [123]
MillionDead 02.20.21	Primitive Man's best record is Scorn if you ask me. Meth Drinker - s/t & OiL Dystopia - Human = Garbage Body Void - I Live Inside a Burning House Btw I totally did not expect to see Plutocracy in the list. lmao especially next to Saosin.
Ryus 02.20.21	dopesick is solid. i did like indian quite a bit as well so your recs seem promising. thanks reqlinq @million dystopia is solid as hell. and yea plutocracy rules. and saosin rules!
MillionDead 02.20.21	There's this one group that kinda does emo and sludge, probably ought to find them for you. Also, there's Admiral Angry - Buster
MillionDead 02.20.21	Yeah it's Palehorse - Gee that ain't swell I'd rec Couch Slut - My Life as a Woman even if it isn't pure sludge. The Body - I Shall Die Here
Ryus 02.20.21	lol emo/sludge sounds wild ill def check it out
MillionDead 02.20.21	It's actually not corny at all and it's heavy as shit lmao
NeroCorleone 02.20.21	Goatsblood - Drull Buzzov-en - To a Frown Molehill - Comfort Measured in Razor Lines Leechmilk - Starvation of Locusts Cavity - Human Abjection Also check The Aftermath comp by Dystopia, I like it more than Human=Garbage
rage11111ro 02.20.21	Thou (2) The body (2) Warhorse (USA) Yautja
evilford 02.20.21	Thou are legends, wolfe's lists are great resources and [2] arhd on iron monkey and meth drinker
Ryus 02.20.21	yeah i do like what ive heard from thou
robertsona 02.20.21	man that grouper song "headache" so fire....sorta think she's best with an electric geetar tbh
Senetrix666 02.21.21	check hell (usa) - I and dragged into sunlight - hatred for mankind
MillionDead 02.21.21	Every rec here won't steer you wrong, I think. Lots of good stuff mentioned. Meant to say I had a big [2] for Indian - From All Purity. One of my favorite modern sludge records, a bleak album. No light in sight.
evilford 02.21.21	Im sure I'll be referencing this thread a lot too, getting back into sludge and thou's post-2018 material
Ryus 02.21.21	yeah million that indian album really nails the vibes i want from sludge metal. i generally dont like the doomier side of the genre
AsleepInTheBack 02.21.21	Admiral Angry - Buster Sludgy hardcore at its bestest
evilford 02.21.21	In reference to the mastodon question, I think Remission is really the only actual sludge album they did honestly. After that it seemed like it turned more towards, idk, progressive metal (?) With a hint of a sludge past or smth but im not entirely sure, I've always sucked at genre classifications. Relinquished or someone can say if this is accurate or total bs
Avagantamos 02.21.21	time to burn - is.land
robertsona 02.21.21	idk if its what you want at all but eyehategod - "dixie whiskey" is one of my favorite riffs full stop
evilford 02.21.21	Also voices of omens (rwake) should be listed as a classic [2]
EyesWideShut 02.21.21	Graves At Sea/Asunder split Grief - Come To Grief Noothgrush - Erode The Person Dystopia - Human=Garbage
Mort. 02.21.21	'Admiral Angry - Buster' Kill Yourself is the dumbest heaviest thing and i love it
zelenichajnik 02.21.21	unrelated to the request but 2 has been rocking my fucking world this week that melody on anytime hits all the sweet zones
AsleepInTheBack 02.21.21	"Kill Yourself is the dumbest heaviest thing and i love it" Damn right. That album and that song in particular are just unparalleled. I've yet to hear anything that comes close to it in terms of droptuned-as-heck heavy nonsense.
zelenichajnik 02.21.21	Yeah, Buster is in another league Maybe the debut Love Sex Machine album is the closest I've heard in just outrageous drop-tuned abuse
DDDeftoneDDD 02.21.21	Rwake, early Mastodon, Thou, Eyehategod, Inter Arma, Elder, Pallbearer, Lord Mantis, Cobalt, Green Druid.
Relinquished 02.21.21	don’t forget y’all he’s looking for stuff similar to Grief if you haven’t heard Grief, please leave the rec’ing premises
DDDeftoneDDD 02.21.21	Hey oops...is Grief good? Quick checked their bio and I think I may got a few recs randomly right lmao
Relinquished 02.21.21	you do but it’s my way of saying check Grief
DDDeftoneDDD 02.21.21	Ahah aaight! Will def check! I like the name, the similar artists and avg already m/ tks
WeepingBanana 02.21.21	EHG is exclusively for door guys and aspiring door guys
Ryus 02.21.21	"unrelated to the request but 2 has been rocking my fucking world this week that melody on anytime hits all the sweet zones" hell yeah glad u like it my man. tim is great
oWhoadYo 02.21.21	Here's some more sludge-y stuff that has uptempo sections Yautja Bolt Thrower - For Victory Iron Monkey - Our Problem Buzzoven - Sore Conan - Existential Void Guardian Spectral Voice - Eroded Corridors of Unbeing (this is a little more on the death/doom side of things, but the riffs are worth it) Inverloch - Distance \| Collapsed That's all i can think of off the top of my head
AsleepInTheBack 02.21.21	"the debut Love Sex Machine" is also fucking insane yeee. Completely lacking in polish but great.
zelenichajnik 02.21.21	the lack of polish is what makes it so gnarly. Asexual Anger was great but it lacks that 'what in tarnation' you get from the debut
Relinquished 02.21.21	the hell is a door guy
evilford 02.21.21	Grief rules
Ryus 02.22.21	update: admiral angry rules
MillionDead 02.22.21	"the hell is a door guy" [2] I feel like I meet dudes like WeepingBanana at punk shows pretty often lol. The kind that "grew out of" other good music for some reason.
ShadowRemains 02.22.21	whoever said meth drinker, yes
Ryus 02.22.21	prioritizing them bc i like the band name
ShadowRemains 02.22.21	fleshpress - s/t fistula - burdened by your existence drug honkey - ghost in the fire
MillionDead 02.22.21	"prioritizing them bc i like the band name" You won't be disappointed!
ShadowRemains 02.22.21	also if his hero is gone doesn't hold up well for you, there's something wrong wit yo brain
MillionDead 02.22.21	I wouldn't really consider them sludge, but they have their sludgy moments for sure. That intro to Like Weeds comes to mind. Great band, regardless.
WeepingBanana 02.22.21	I didn’t “grow out” of EHG lol I never thought they were good. And like I said it’s just been so long since I jammed HHIG and the like but my impression is my tastes have changed. Tho if pressed I’d prob have to say that HHIG is the best band out of those I mentioned, if my increasingly faulty memory serves And a door guy is someone who works the door at a rock club who is probably wearing a Kylesa shirt and has a tattoo of a burrito or some shit. But hey it takes all kinds!
ShadowRemains 02.22.21	ok but also to lead with "sludge is mostly a dogshit genre" kind of takes away from the rest of that actually if we're talking metal subgenres, sludge is probably one of the more consistent in terms of quantity vs. quality
WeepingBanana 02.22.21	I guess what I’m saying is that even I, who think sludge sucks ass for the most part, think Iron Monkey rule. And also that sludge sucks. Like I said, takes all kinds! I can’t even begin to tell you how excited I am for you that you think sludge is a consistent genre
WeepingBanana 02.22.21	The coolest thing about EHG is that little snippet at the end of the IRON MONKEY album of them talking about how they can outsmoke Iron Monkey. And I’m afraid it ends there
naughtcturnal 02.22.21	Acid Bath and Harvey Milk
Ryus 02.22.21	oh yeah i completely forgot about iron monkey. i remember liking them i think @naught not so big on acid bath but harvey milk is cool
WeepingBanana 02.22.21	Harvey Milk are great too yeah I always forget about them
MillionDead 02.22.21	Since we're just fucking with sludge adjacent stuff now. We can't leave out Kowloon Walled City. Gnarly motherfuckers. Exhalants's new record is awesome as well.
MillionDead 02.22.21	I don't wish to muddy the waters with post metal, but there's a lot of good slow face fucking in that genre too.
Ryus 02.22.21	possibly, but from what ive heard i dont really like post metal
Ryus 02.22.21	im not too big on most of it but the stuff i do like tends to be on the scuzzier side...what would u recommend
hal1ax 02.22.21	grief - come to grief , is ayt
DDDeftoneDDD 02.25.21	Ei Ryus, I noticed you only have Heathen from Thou rated. It is awesome, but its the ultimate Thou challenge. If you wand a classy one do Magus, if you want a riffing bastard do Tyrant. Hug btw - will check Grief asap
Mort. 02.25.21	'update: admiral angry rules' indeed. Black Sheep Wall has at least one member of Admiral Angry in them, maybe more when they first started i dunno, but id say check them out
Artuma 02.25.21	lord mantis [2]
Deez 02.25.21	Abandon - in reality we suffer Walk through fire - hope is misery Green machine - d.am.n Moloch - s/t ep Body Void I Live Inside A Burning house Resent - crosshairs How someone gonna ask for sludge recs and be given dragged into sunlight and blot thrower hahha
evilford 02.25.21	Was wondering about that bolt thrower rec yea
LeddSledd 02.25.21	Plutocracy album is fantastic, large nuts album
naughtcturnal 02.26.21	Dunno if Couch Slut was mentioned but Couch Slut
MillionDead 02.26.21	I'd mentioned Couch Slut. Hard fucking band. lmao With edgy imagery.
naughtcturnal 02.26.21	Yeah first album artwork is fucked up. Sick band
Dewinged 02.26.21	Nobody rec'd Crowbar? Also very confused at seeing Grouper on a sludge rec list
Artuma 02.26.21	crowbar ain't that good honestly if you're gonna rec some of that classic new orleans sludge then eyehategod is the way to go
AsleepInTheBack 02.26.21	"update: admiral angry rules" yes boiii I'd second that Black Sheep Wall rec too
dedex 02.26.21	Fall of Efrafa
evilford 02.26.21	I mean I like crowbar quite a bit but agreed there is better stuff to listen to, agreed on EHG
Dewinged 02.26.21	Lol Crowbar rule wtf people. Also check Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard and King Woman for sludge that sounds quite different from the bunch.
Relinquished 02.26.21	yea bad take artuma you can have your filth sludge and your sludge that rolls heads too
evilford 02.26.21	Haven't heard crowbar in a minute should change that
naughtcturnal 02.27.21	Sonic Excess front to back go go gooo
Artuma 02.27.21	"yea bad take artuma" i'm not taking it back
naughtcturnal 02.27.21	Crowbar is ze sludge band
Relinquished 02.27.21	not asking you to take it back, it just sucks
