Top 40 Doom/Stoner/Sludge Metal Songs of All-Time Part 1

[ThEmB0nEz]

Crowbar and Acid Bath are Sludge DOom Masters!!!

[AmethystAnarchyAngel]

I wanna learn how 2 play guitar like this so freaking bad :D

[Death8498]

@AmethystAnarchyAngel Do it, the guitar work isn't necessarily complex, however, getting the right feel for everything and grooving it out with all the doomy goodness takes a bit of work. It's a fun genre to play.

[GODDAMNEDHERO]

Check our our music folks!

Maybe will be there in top 10 one day lol! )

[Alos21]

Mastodon now owns all the places on the list

[sapiopneumoni]

ffs ignorant cunts stop calling them like that

[Alos21]

@sapiopneumoni you are one dumb ass fuck! They are fucking sludge as sludge can be with some prog elements,now go play fucking WoW

[sapiopneumoni]

@Alos21 lol !! another fucking idiot that accepts the neo tags that have nothing to do with reality created by the press ... cheers retard !

[Alos21]

@sapiopneumoni your dad was an idiot for not using fucking condoms you retarded wannabe hipster fuck..neo tags hahahaa damn you fucked your starting credentials just with that lame shit

[sapiopneumoni]

[MrSomePrick]

WITCH- SEER!

[djmessyp]

thanks for some awesome reccomendations!

[tristanatlaticus]

black lable dosent rank

[MrAmputechture]

The Sword is pretty badass. Woulda liked to see Sleep and Electric Wizard further up the list, though. The old Boris shoulda been up there as well (or maybe I missed it?). Also, I'm surprised to see Anathema up there. They are not a stoner/sludge band at all. Anyways, it's a decent list, but I've seen better. I would also recommend checking out the band "Snail".

[MrDanteaguilar]

Now this is the heaviest shit

[Rawk4Life]

@MrDanteaguilar Sludge does not mean heavy.

[MrDanteaguilar]

@Rawk4Life I know what the wordmeans. But after blasting so much grind, death metal, black, thrash, all that shit, I still find this kind of metal heavier.

[realitymovement]

I just came across a newer band called ATOMIS, and they are rad! Super ambient, atmospheric and sludgy as well! Definitely worth a listen. I saw them live about a month ago, and I looked online for their stuff but could only find one song by them called Maelstrom. Here is the link for the one I found on youtube: /watch?v=OS2FsSb5_ds or you can just search Atomis. I love finding new great bands! Any suggestions please share

[screechingcrow]

@realitymovement witch mountain is pretty sweet

[IndieCharge]

the best place to see any of these bands are at house shows, no joke, its fun as hell to have a sludge band play while your at a party..well with the right company hah

[elpinchepuma]

Where is SASQUATCH?

[FoolForRespect]

NEUROSIS NEUROSIS NEUROSIS NEUROSIS

[Videofool12]

[bassistdave109]

fuck yah doomsword?

[MasterAdam100]

Come down to dark, depressing Louisiana where the only thing worse than the public schools and inbreeding is the murder rate and you will see that only a place as depressing and brutal as Louisiana could invent this creation that crawled up from the deepest and darkest swamp.

[666bloodredrain]

hell yeah KYUSS

[Reap1026]

Fucke yeah!!, Weedeater

[monsterhuntermaniac]

Fuck gothic/doomy shit though

[naturerepeating]

I just recently came accross a new band called ATOMIS. They are from Canada, and they are rad! They list Cult of Luna, Mogwai, Isis as some of their influences, although in my opinion they don't sound too much like any of them. If you're a fan of rad tasteful sludge/post rock you should check them out. They have a free download on their website atomis. bandcamp. com If anyone has any other band recommendations please share. I really like finding new awesome bands!

[hillysats]

Any list that mentions Anathema and Cult of Luna always makes me smile

[BeeEmEcks]

HEY EVERYONE. take a good listen to #39. the sword is probably one of the best stoner metal bands in the world

[deathincambodia]

[Duffman89detmig]

[blackened247]

@Duffman89detmig ya i know right?!!!?

[Duffman89detmig]

@blackened247 Crowbar is so awesome!!! dont kno if down is ther but DOWN too

[imixers]

A lot of stuff here really isn't bad at all, just not stoner/slude/doom

[chp656s]

ACID BATH ACID BATH ACID BATH ACID BATH

[mrevolutions23]

black label society doesnt belong on this! their not sludge, stoner or doom.

[Dude11191]

Meshuggah-nebulous

has an epic fucking sludge sound to it!

[adelaide5158]

not music to listen to when your high -___-

[blackened247]

CROWBAR nuffs said

[stmbandboking]

@blackened247 HAHA, yes sir, you got that right.

[belsen89]

there area lot lot of strange vocalists in these genres, but i think (and most will probably agree) that over time you see that the vocals fit the music quite nicely.

[MenapianWarrior]

thenew album by thesword is so f-ing awesome

[crinoswerewolf1]

If you are a fan of sludge music, you should check out a band called Acid Bath

[stmbandboking]

@crinoswerewolf1 Yeah, I am from Louisiana, Acid Bath were ahead of there time, along with alot of bands from down here, like Crowbar, and Exhorder (check them out to see were Pantera "may have" gotten there sound from)

[crinoswerewolf1]

@stmbandboking hell yeah, dax riggs just came to a little venue around here last halloween.. too bad he doesnt do his acid bath shit anymore

[Beenyad]

@crinoswerewolf1 If you listen to Sludge and you don't know who Acid Bath is, you're really missing out.

[jsem94]

CULT OF LUNA REPRESENTING! \o/ \o/

[DangerBird69]

haha burning saviors sound like a metal band if gordon lightfoot were the lead singer

[dentpopcan]

burning saviours was crazy, haha, that was probally the funniest thing ive ever heard, hha

[mikeyfatstrings]

burning saviours? what?

[ShroomSamich]

STAR REIGN DOWN ON YOU

[gerwin0]

NO DYSTOPIA!?!?!?!

[AnotherHell1]

We play groove metal with sludge influences

Check our fucking channel out

[HispanicImpression]

Much bullshit here.I'm a stoner since 2005 and everything else but impressed of this list.Lots of songs got fucked up by crappy vocals,which desperately and unauthentically tried to sound"evil",unless they didn't had much musical substance anyway.This list just shows me how fucking genius Kyuss was.They just flew on a specific atmosphere and transported it sophistically with their instruments;they didn't pose,they played outstanding music.I bet this list won't even contain Colour Haze in Part 2

[ultron35186]

Sleep at 17!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! wtf!

[oneinfinity]

Locust Star is waaaay too low on your list!

[thesyllekattacks]

@oneinfinity totally agree, for me thats one of the songs that got me into the genre and has so much more depth then 90% of the other songs on this list!

[phillymat]

draconian baby lol!!

[XHelloimjoeyX]

I HATE THE HUMAN RACE

[RhodesRecording]

Acid Bath!

[Phoodchain]

its all about Electric Wizard.

[Moniek50]

omfg Lucust Star by Neurosis should be in the top 10!

[thundertower]

I want to hear a technical sludge metal song. Attn: bands, link me to your myspace.

[12ozshark]

The Abominable Iron Sloth - Hats Made Of Veal...

[OriginOwns]

i wish there was more groovey sludge like weedeater, iron monkey, and eyehategod.

[canteenboy94]

monkey junction is a great song

[mrevolutions23]

the sword is very good, i just got into em... love the heavy riffs and the singing and neurosis is real deep, profoundly deep/dark and heavy

[alex19856]

i'm surprised at how many people don't like the vocals. i like rough-sounding vocals in doom metal much better than clean vocals. 

[HLandKM4ever]

lowrider looks and sounds like nickelfuck

[Jeser118]

CHECK OUT MY SLUDGE BAND. WHERE CALLED HEAP OF STONE. CLICK ON MY NAME. THE SONG IS CALLED BREW.

[MrShroomtits]

lots of amazing instrumental work..lots of shitty vocal work

[alicemudgarden123]

Bands that I liked on this list as I listen: Iron Monkey, Noothgrush (Corrupted split is so good), Weedeater, GRIEF! SOME REAL SLUDGE!!!, OM, Bongzilla, TROUBLE!!! I thought you would miss them :P, EARTH is more drone the pioneers of drone I like it but shouldn't be on THIS particular list, Sleep of course,

BLS? Really? One of the top doom songs of all time?

I have HIGH hopes for part two, a lot of the greats were missing

[666FrankBooth666]

IRON F*CKIN MONKEY & NEUROSIS! HELL YEAH!

Haters will hopefully (fingers and toes crossed) die a horrible death for slating such greatness!

[eisenhammer7]

TORCHE

[fatfatat444]

The Sword and Acid Bath are REALLY good bands. I don't care what ANYONE says.

[penn320]

acidbath

[MaryChestnutsLover]

too... many... riffs.....

[xXCoalitionXx]

Music cant get any shittier then this. Shitty lyrics and repetitive power chords.

[charlieenders]

@xXCoalitionXx

says the fucking kid with xXXx around his name.

[xXCoalitionXx]

@charlieenders What does that have to do with how shitty this music is? It doesnt change how unbelievably unoriginal and retarded it is...

[Beenyad]

@xXCoalitionXx Somehow you missed the neverending creativity and awesome riffs.

Sludge is pretty much about 3 things: Riffs, Atmosphere and Weed.

[TheStapleZ]

@xXCoalitionXx You could have metal-core. Or KISS. Or the radio.

[ebeaver15]

Kyuss, Trouble, Buzzoven, Saint Vitus, Cathedral, Neurosis.

Nice compilation

[AryanAlphaMale]

I hope Electric Wizard, Earthride, Spirit Caravan, Sons of Otis, Ramesses and Sunn O))) are on your part two.

[blechschmelze]

@AryanAlphaMale

hpw can an idiot named AryanAlphaMale be into Doom and Stoner... Keep the Nazis out of Doom...!

[complementarychaos]

@blechschmelze I fully agree. Nazis, Nationalists, the whole lot of 'em- fucking die.

[666Eternus666]

@blechschmelze

why do u think he's a nazi? if he is white and mentions it in his username why does that makes him a nazi?

[Arnkh]

@AryanAlphaMale

I totally agree, some singers should just shut up and not ruin the atmosphere. The same is true for black/death metal as well.

To everyone else - no need to get offended. This is just my opinion, I am not trying to provoke anyone. :)

[juicyjohnbox]

@AryanAlphaMale

YOU KNOW WHAT IM TALKIN ABOUT ELECTRIC WIZARD :D

[AryanAlphaMale]

I am a stoner rock / doom fan but there are too many bands that their vocals suck ass!!!

The music sounds cool until they start to sing. Sometimes I think it would have been better is some of these bands just played music with no vocals.

By the way good shit on Lowrider, Kyuss (which again I'm not a fan of this vocals), Earth, Saint Vitus, Sleep. I've been listening to them for years.

Honestly those were the only bands that I liked out of those bands.

[suicidewillie]

@AryanAlphaMale Like Iron Monkey? They're legendery.

[vso414]

@AryanAlphaMale try yob, their vocals are awesome

[anarchy6661]

@AryanAlphaMale you a fan of acid bath?

[DistantPlan]

@AryanAlphaMale HEY DUDE i play in a band with sludge influences unfortunately we are going to record in february 2011...so youll have to wait for our stuff... anyways... a sludge band with no vocals are LENTO their from italy like us...and another one with both clean and screamed vocals are AMIA VENERA LANDSCAPE...but they have some math and post hardcore influences... listen to their song NICHOLAS...

[DistantPlan]

@AryanAlphaMale and if you like the genre just ask me..and when we record our 3 tracks EP ill send you a free copy!!

[ColonelMontoya]

@AryanAlphaMale if you aren't a fan of john garcia from kyuss you must be tone deaf

[DownhatGym]

@AryanAlphaMale Then its not the genre you like i think.. try other genres instead.

[tattodt1]

@AryanAlphaMale they don't suck, man... it's just that you don't like it... end of the story...

[GrungeBouke]

@AryanAlphaMale HOW THE FUCK you can't be fan of John Garcia's vocals.

The other bands you mention are really old skool sounding vocals I recon.

[tashimojo]

@AryanAlphaMale Pelican

[ohiogrinder]

@AryanAlphaMale sounds like you have an aversion to harsh vocals. like everyone else. sigh.

[MorbidHumanity666]

@AryanAlphaMale When you have a band as fucking heavy as Neurosis, no other vocals will fit. If they are more focused on sounding nice to the ear then they will just be crushed by the doom of the instruments and forgotten.

[themaryandthemusic]

@AryanAlphaMale

I don't know how there isn't a single Eyehategod song on this whole list =/

[Kyussfan96]

@themaryandthemusic I do.

[rezzah]

wow man thx for posting these bands up, i found so many awesome bands

[TheElGreengo]

The Sword, fking rock on!

[intdoublecharbool]

Om! Cult of Luna! Buzzov-en! So many cool bands.

It's also really cool to learn about other bands in the scene; Draconia sounds pretty cool, I'll check it out.

[HardAlternative]

This is awesome, great list of bands.
