7 Sludge Rock songs that put some hair on your chest
January 6th, 2009 by Ivan Pena in Bombardier ManifestoI woke up with a bug this morning. Something heavy. Something fuzzy. Something hazy. None of the pop-tinged alternative in my music collection seem to satiate this thirst. Then I stumbled upon these Sludge Rock gems. Sludge Rock (aka Stoner Rock, Psychedelic Heavy Metal) is a down-tuned, thicker-than-molasses branch of heavy metal that focuses on sexual/drug-related topics, thumping drum patterns and guitar tone engulfed in Big Muff fuzz. I went on a quest on iTunes and ended up spening $15 amassing a nice Sludge playlist. Here are 7 recommendations if you are feeling dirty like I was:
- Sleep “Aquarian”
- High on Fire “Hung, Drawn and Quartered”
- Queens of the Stone Age “Sick, Sick, Sick”
- Alabama Thunderpussy “Esteem Fiend”
- BORIS “Pink”
- Hermano “Our Desert Home”
- Melvins “The Talking Horse”
