I'm not really a vinyl person, but I know many are, so this may interest some. Cheers.

Written by X-Ray Rod on 07.09.2012 at 00:29 I agree with IronAngel on this one. When you listen to them they are loads of the time actually grunge instead of sludge. It's the nastiness of the lyrics and delivery of the vocals as well which sets them apart from grunge bands.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 07.09.2012 at 00:38 I can agree on the second album but definitely not on the debut. Regardless of the vocals the music is way too nasty on the debut except on the tracks I already mentioned.

Written by X-Ray Rod on 07.09.2012 at 00:39 Also on the debut though not as much as on the second one. The music on the debut also isn't really nasty. Heavy, yes, but nasty, no. The vocals and lyrics are nasty.

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 07.09.2012 at 00:45 But even so... Sometimes it ain't heavy but I still can't listen to a track like Dope Fiend or Toubabo Koomi (which to me are the less heavy from the debut right after the ballads and tranquilized) and say that it's not sludge, neither of them gives me a grunge vibe either, not a strong vibe at least. Not all sludge must be nasty to be sludge.

Written by X-Ray Rod on 07.09.2012 at 00:29 I might agree with that, but they certainly aren't the best example to give about what archetypal sludge sounds like. They don't sound too close to other sludge greats and their high status is due to their exceptional songwriting and tendency to push the envelope. You're taking me out of the context of explaining to Oaken what sludge and stoner sound like in their most common, basic manifestations.

Written by IronAngel on 07.09.2012 at 00:50 Could be a similar case with Neurosis and Post-metal then. Quoting my man Troy who was talking about them one day: "Pioneer bands usually don't limit themselves to any specific sound or style, whereas modern bands that elaborate on the sound are quick to pick out bits and pieces of it and focus on that". To me stoner and sludge was always pretty easy thing. Like you said: For stoner... search for that groove and psychedelic rock vibe somewhere... For sludge: Search the rawness and hardcore. It's and acurate and pretty straightforward approach. For a more "sludge" band... In that case I'll go with Eyehategod. Doesn't get more direct than that most of the time.

To the guys arguing up there If this is sludge by definition How come this cannot be used among the best examples of archetypal sludge sound  oh and fuck the vocals it does not even matter one bit no matter the example.

Any recommendations on good sludge with harsh vocals in the vein of EHG? Not my favorite genre, but I still like it, but I can't get into sludge bands that employ clean vocals for some reason.

Written by theflyingmachine on 08.12.2012 at 18:06 Most sludge doesn't have clean vocals...? Anyway, for some dirty-ass sludge I recommend Coffinworm. For a little more normal stuff try Behold! The Monolith or Black Tusk.

Written by Boxcar Willy on 10.12.2012 at 05:02 Only sludge band I know that employ clean vocals are Horn Of The Rhino. The best dirtiest harshest vocals will always be Lord Mantis for me, althought that might be off-topic here since they're more blackened Sludge.

Written by The Turbanator on 10.12.2012 at 18:49 Not off-topic imo. Still mostly sludge. Just played with a bit of black thrown in. A more (imo) intense hybrid would be Alkerdeel. Their latest is one of my favorites of this year easily.

Written by Boxcar Willy on 10.12.2012 at 05:02 Thx I'll try those-and the other two listed after this post. Maybe my definition of clean vocals is a little bit different, as I consider Acid Bath to have clean vocals. But stoner metal probably has more in the way of clean vocals and I probably lop that and sludge together.

Written by theflyingmachine on 11.12.2012 at 01:27 Well stoner and sludge mixes well together.
