I would if I could stand Crowbar's singer. I really wish I could because there aren't enough god-tier sludge bands that aren't post-metal but that guy does nothing for me.

Yeah, it can be difficult to find some real sludge metal bands with how little of it can be found with how popular post-metal is. Have you heard of Floor? windsock hooked me onto them:


Lord by Fire is another good one:


and while known as a grunge band, Tad has a lot of stuff I'd call sludge:

No, I just despise their definitions of what "is" and what "isn't" metal.

Can we all agree that Crowbar is the epitome and best of sludge metal though?:
Oh hey I care a lot less about the vocals this time around. I've tried several times now to get into Crowbar so now maybe I'll be able to.

Lumbar's great, I don't think I've heard anything from Tad Doyle that I haven't liked.

Awesome, you can't go wrong with any of their albums, but Broken Glass is easily my favorite.
