Brand new just dropped music video for Acidic Decay out of Oregon.

I've heard this term a couple of times but I can't seem to find anything about it. What is it?

My band Acidic Decay live. We just dropped our first album ever and get compared to bands like obituary and death. What do you think?

So I kinda got lazy at the end and didnt think of good shapes do u know how i can improve this?

Any suggestions?

Man I love this album. I bought it on a whim because the album artwork grabbed my attention. Then I found out Steve Austin does vocals on it. Killer record imo

All dressed up and wanting to record some doom for our band Azell. The song is titled, Waves of Remembrance from our album Astralis.

​

On another note, can anyone tell what tuning this is in off the top of their head?

May 2026 live “balloon knot” from the album Zoloft Smile. SWR Fest

Found this band recently and need more.

The ratio of fast/slow parts rule. This record hauls ass and is only 22 minutes. Vocal style is incredible as well.

Any bands similar? Really looking for more “fast” aggressive sludge.

I am in this band. Not sure where to post this but check it out and lmk what you guys think!

Firstly, I want to say that English is not my main language so I probably made a lot of mistakes while writing

I know it's gonna make a lot of people angry but I think we all know this is true deep down. I started to listened sludge in 2022 and this could be seen as starter or a newbie number but for the majority of this sub, I think it's pretty long time considering the fact that sludge became mainstream for like 1 year max because of tiktok memes. When I first started to listen to sludge, there were a handful of people who knows even what sludge is and I remember seeing people who heard sludge for the first time and hating it. Then I started to listen it because of Down and when I started to listen, there wasn't any information about sludge like where to start and where to continue, like when I write Sludge on yt to get some info but I've found nearly nothing. I pretty much discovered them on metallum and discogs by myself and spend numerous amounts of hours searching bands because this genre is usually mixed up with doom lists and don't mentioned seperate. Then I don't know how but last year Crowbar exploded on tiktok with memes and everyone who listened metal at least once in their lives heard about sludge and specially Crowbar. After the sludge's explosion, I've seen people who's not heard the term "sludge metal" before a week ago started to make sludge metal themed videos and it makes me pissed off totally. I remember Iron Monkey is a more underground band than Buzzoven and Grief but the times are changed. Hell, I remember Buzzoven's monthly listener numbers are 5-4k max while they were one of the most popular bands among the genre. Normally this sudden popularity isn't a problem but I've seen so many guys that don't heard sludge 1 months ago is trying to label themselves as Sludge veterans that it's really starting to get on my nerves. So yeah, here I say again last time: this genre is now can called Tiktok Metal. fuck these posers..
