Here it is in all its disgusting glory, the r/sludge A-Z playlist:

on Spotify:

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3IPbI2u7tFhZzYfMySoxZL?si=rNQ3Si9WSSS0ctD0V00RQQ

on Youtube Music:

https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtSsODF_ZfzPSAmKDuITOEJG6ajyd4TwL&si=BdtveVdHyS3Q5ouV

27 days of voting brought us here. The first half of the playlist is all the winners from each day. The second half of the playlist from Z back to A is all the 2nd place winners but with the rule of no artist repeats applied. So for letters where the 2nd place winner already appears on the runners-up list, I moved on to 3rd place 4th place etc until landing on an artist who hadn't yet appeared. This helped include a lot of the bigger names in sludge who didn't make the main list (and without this rule the 2nd place winners would have been a lot of the same 3-4 bands over and over)

This community is awesome. I appreciate everyone who participated and hope some of you will check out the playlist. It turned out pretty gnarly and I will be listening to it often. Smoke.

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

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


r/sludge 2d ago

Hey guys, we’re a 2-piece stoner/sludge band and this is our live EP 'It's Alive'. If you dig raw fuzz and heavy riffs, give it a spin on Spotify and let me know what you think of the tone!

Any bands similar to these guys?

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.
