The EHG album is solid and has a real feel about it and its one of the best sludge metal albums from the New Orleans scene and along with Odd Fellows Rest by Crowbar one of the scenes best albums. But Acid Bath are something else......the albums When the Kite String Pops and Paegen Terrorism Tactics are two of the defining moments of 90s metal and two of the best sludge metal albums ever recorded. The group talent wise were right up there with the Melvins and the only other sludge band that I`d put in the same league as Acid Bath are Kylesa, even though Kylesa mix in a lot of stoner and psychedelic elements.

Acid Bath 4
Eyehategod 0

You know, Crowbar are one of those bands that everyone talks about, but I just can't get into them. For one or two songs, they're cool, but after ten minutes or so, the vocals just start to numb my brain and I just have to listen to something else. I can see why the guy from Crowbar collaborated with Jamey Jasta. They both have exactly the same boring, repetitive approach to vocals.

Thats why Crowbar only have one stand out album and in general I find them repetitive as well, but on Odd Fellows Rest they got it right over a complete album. If you want more diversity or accessibility in your sludge metal you really need to go with Corrosion of Conformity (they`re also a favourite band of mine)

Quite right. Hardcore. Crossover. Sludge. They sorta pwn it all.

ok have heard both

Take as Needed for Pain

this sounds really slack, by slack I mean it sounds like 4 drunk guys sloppily jamming in the studio without putting any thought in craftmanship of the riffs and melodies

When The Kite String Pops

now this more like it - well-thought out riffs and melodies, Sabbath-esque but having enough of an identity to distinguish itself from that. and when they do Alice in Chains-style balladry, it works

so:-

Acid Bath - 5
Eyehategod - 0

Most sludge metal from New Orleans sounds like this

I feel like if Dopesick had been the Eyehategod album in this match-up, it would have been closer. But since it isn't, I'm giving Acid Bath the sweep.

Acid Bath - 6
Eyehategod - 0

God damn! I figured Eyehategod had enough cred to at least get ONE vote! I wasn't expecting this sweep.

Nah. I like Eyehategod, but they lost fair and square.
