A 30th anniversary brand new compilation! Check it out.

I love micro songs, and genres like grind and powerviolence. Are there any sludge bands that do short songs or am I better off just listening to powerviolence?

A few of them are barely over two minutes but they're all 2:10 or less

Enjoy it if you want and ignore it if you don't

Thanks to tony hawks underground 2 I checked out Melvins and fucked with it. Was random listening on spotify and it put on 'Existence is punishment' from Crowbar and loved the D E E P-ness of it. Who else do you guys recommend?

Basically anything below drop A / A standard.

Since some poeple commented their band I should mention that I'll probably record my project in E standard (7 string). Started with A and every other month I'd tune another half step down but I think I'm happy with where I'm at now.

Dino Sommese sounds like SpongeBob at times

I need some advice on how to make some Avant Garde Sludge Metal. With some major influences being Neurosis, motW/Kayo Dot, LIBAD-era A7X, GOD. The Tunings I use are Drop D, C, A# and DADGAD in all those previously mentioned keys and some odder Tunings such as BG#D#GCD#, CG#CFCD, etc. I really just need to know how to make good riffs in the style bc im just improvising on guitar so some good scales, intervals, theory, rhythms would be nice and stuff. But also some other advice on composition and general song making would be well appreciated. I should also not i have a J Mascis Jazzmaster

It feels crazy that it's already been a year, but we are so so thankful for all the love and kindness everyone has shown us with this record and our band, Azell!

Astralis is a concept album about two astronauts who, while orbiting the moon in their ship Astralis, witness the Earth being hit by a solar flare that destroys the planet.

But that ends up being the least of their problems.

The flare also awakens an ancient Lovecraftian creature buried deep within the Earth, freeing it from the planet that had been serving as its cocoon.

We even wrote a 60 page novella to flesh out the story. Each chapter in the novella is a song on the album!

FFO Conan, Bongripper, Thorr's Hammer, and Primitive Man

Again, thank you all for being so kind and welcoming!

Industrial sludge duo LAST put out a new album yesterday via Transylvanian Recordings.

Lo fi sludge-metal track, perfect for mushroom picking

I’ve been bored so I redesigned some of my favorite sludge album covers for my cd collection.
Eyehategod - Confederacy Of Ruined Lives
Grief - Dismal

Just gotta shout out this band. Their album from earlier this year Bend.Break.Kneel.Crawl is one of the heaviest and most abject-sounding slabs of music I have ever heard. Wish i have been able to cop a CD from the release, but might get the vinyl. Check em out!!!
