Sludge (metal, rock, genre, album, Nirvana)

cardboard adolescent · 12-01-2005, 08:21 PM

I'm putting together a mix with all the sludgiest songs I can find, and I want some suggestions. "Sludge" kind of transcends boundaries from heavy metal to grunge and what not, but this is what I have so far:

Monster Magnet - Superjudge
Melvins - Hooch
Nirvana - Scentless Aprentice
Mudhoney - Beneath the Valley of the Underdog
Kyuss - Demon Cleaner
Black Sabbath - Into the Void
Melvins - Night Goat
Nirvana - Love Buzz
The Stooges - Penetration
Green River - PCC
Soundgarden - Flower
Nirvana - Paper Cuts
Black Sabbath - Sweet Leaf

any suggestions would be appreciated.

Electric Wizard = Sludge of highest level.

MotorHead - Mean Machine.......(Not sure if i totally understood this thread correctly)

^ Yeah I must admit that his list varies from what I would call sludge but grunge is fairly sluggish in itself, so may as well go with the flow. I had mentioned Electric Wizard but perhaps they aren't the sludge he's looking for.

Melvins - Honey Bucket
Alice In Chains - Would, We Die Young, Man In The Box, Them Bones.
Prong - Snap Your Fingers Snap Your Neck, Face Value, Rude Awakening.
Clutch - Come On Mother****er, The Mob Goes Wild, Mercury, Profits Of Doom.

Get Bleach, that is the most Sludgy album every made.

Yeah, Love Buzz and Paper Cuts are both tracks from Bleach.

I've been trying to download some Electric Wizard but that's not really making any progress. I desperately need some more Melvins cds.

Godflesh - Anything Is Mine

Nirvana isn't sludge, and your definition is a bit off. But most of those bands are solid (Monster Magnet, Electirc Wizard, some Kyuss)

Their early material could be, a lot of their sound was influenced by The Melvins.

^ You might like it, it's one of my favourite styles of music, not that thats any reason to like it.

My idea of sludge falls pretty much under Doom Metal. Without entering into a genre war, I just reckon that doom metal is your one stop sludgy music shop. Sabbath and Cathedral and co are great examples. Doom metal even has a sub-sub genre, no doubt created by that fat man again, called "sludge doom".
