My Top 9 Favourite Sludge/Postmetalbands

[threetimesMORGAN]

wow this video exposed me to some cool sounding bands. i came here from a dystopia video. downoading ISIS now...thank you for making this video.

[Quiestre]

@threetimesMORGAN you are welcome :D

[DMTfabric]

OFCOURSE ISIS IS IN FIRST PLACE!!!!!!!

[Quiestre]

@DMTfabric A band that made be cry like a baby because of cheer beauty of their songs (weight, garden of light) [...] of course it is Number FUCKING One! :D

[sapiopneumoni]

most of these bands have nothing to do with sludge ... i suppose you could name it postsludge but still it's different music than the classic sludge metal...

[Quiestre]

@sapiopneumoni Yeah I know, but it's a common term today for bands that have heavy down tuned slow guitar riffs and growling. And Postmetal isn't really a good term either.

[sapiopneumoni]

@Quiestre i said postsludge not postmetal ...

it's like the sellout of sludge :P

Although even i can appreciate some good records from this kind of bands

[Quiestre]

I don't know if anyone cares, but I'm almost certain going to play with rosetta live in july. here in berlin germany. And man am i excited about it!

[perrottafamily1]

I'm glad to see some Dirge on here. Most underrated band ever!

[MrSonicdestruction]

there is no sludge in the vid :p only post metal :D

[Quiestre]

@MrSonicdestruction i cannot agree to 100%, i think generation of vipers is pretty much sludge, and omega massive doesn't use too much postrock elements and stays heavy all the time.

[deprivedsinker]

@Quiestre agreed

[Metal4life0102]

Wow thanks for posting this! Different than my post metal list but still awesome!

There were a lot of bands on here i never herd of yet too....more post/sludge to check out, yay!

[roggetod]

thanks for the "generation of vipers" - tip...great song, always cool to get to know new good music

[lemieux6687]

Your number 1 is the best song ever by the best band ever. RIP Isis

[That1ManDudeGuy]

whats the name of that Giant album?

[Quiestre]

@That1ManDudeGuy Giant - song

[Headbang2012]

i don't think i heard any sludge on here. check out out goatsnake or electric wizard. that is sludge metal. and i know u don't like neurosis or pelican which is fine but neurosis practically invetnted post metal and pelican is pretty similar in style. i'm not dissing ur musical tastes, just saying :)

[Quiestre]

@Headbang2012 yeah sure that's why i labled it Sludge/Postmetal since people normaly think its the same, but i'm aware that there is a difference.

and i awknoledge that neurosis invented it ;D

[cantgetthathit]

no old man gloom, thats pretty bad u got no old man gloom

[Beelzebubbbbles]

No "Cult of Luna" or "Callisto" or "Pelican" or "Russian Circles" or "A Storm of Light" or "Jesu" or "Tides" or "Minsk"?

[Quiestre]

@Beelzebubbbbles pelican sucks, russian circles is more math and is in my "postrock" video, cult of luna just has not enough good songs, i cant even think of any good atm , a storm of light (have to check it out) jesu is "dronegaze" and not one of my favs, tides are okay, and no minsk for me, But i may add Io, Buried Inside, Year Of No Light and Kehlvin

[Beelzebubbbbles]

@Quiestre We'll have to disagree on Pelican, "Mammoth" is one of my faves. Cult of Luna's "Somewhere along the Highway" is full of good songs, check out "Finland" in particular. "Carpe" by Russian Circles is pure post-metal, no hint of math there. Check out "Mass" by A Storm of Light, I think you'll like it. Jesu tend to record differently every time, but "Dead Eyes" is post, and brilliant. However, I was actually just teasing - 9 seemed such a small number for a genre that has such raw talent!

[smackerivlife]

Wow wasn't expecting to see Generation of Vipers they formed around where I live also I has that guitar in the end of the video.

[whitetrashmichael]

TRENCHES.

[DiatonicSoul]

haha cool Dave Mann, the drummer for MOA was the bass player in my old band Rune

[stmbandboking]

Nice video, But no Baroness??? either way, check out City of Ships, The Devil and the Sea, and Wildfires, the later two are local Louisiana bands, but they are awesome.....you may also like Torche, and Thou...and Deadbird, and Rwake

[stmbandboking]

[salvin1792]

3:50-3:55 Wtf? Is that the thing to do at these shows? Stand there, arms crossed, looking bored shitless?

[Quiestre]

@salvin1792 pretty much lol

[salvin1792]

@Quiestre Lame. They should be tearin' the walls down!

[rabbitspliff]

@salvin1792 i've only seen the crowd like that for the first supporting band at gigs. sucks to be a supporting band lol.

[rorbalzio]

Wow. Generation of Vipers are totally rad. So many awesome bands left out, though. Omega Massif is Post Rock, but still badass. Here's a few more to add to your list:

Blindead

AmenRa

Tephra

Minsk

Callisto

Shrinebuilder

[SpasmOfJoy]

Of course Isis wins. XD

[swedishmetalupyours]

srsly? No Mastodon?

[Quiestre]

@swedishmetalupyours not really postmetal/sludge to me, and nope i saw them live and so on i like them for a long time but not anymore. they are just not that cool to me

[DarkestHour47]

@Quiestre yeah they fall under stoner metal with baroness and kylesa, although kylesa shoulda made this list

[5ofo5]

@Quiestre I think Mastodon are more progressive...

[SpasmOfJoy]

Humanfly is awesome. Mouth Of the Architect sound like Neurosis ripoffs.

[localgaz]

I agree with Omega Massif and Isis. I don't really like the others.

You should try Toundra if you like O-M, a spanish band.

They're some very good bands in France (I'm french ^^): check Time To Burn & As We Draw (more a hardcore band in fact... but great band).

[blackened247]

listen to crowbar. That is sludge

[12ozshark]

Check out The Abominable Iron Sloth, 'Hats Made Of Veal And That New Car Scent" - fucking awesome song, great, great band

[MetaphorMadness]

Some great bands indeed. I really enjoy Omega Massif and Rosetta. I have to agree with neurotic4ever. Check out Neurosis. They're kind of the starting heads in this genre. Some more tips for you :P. Check out "Amenra" and "Sardonis" from Belgium!

[Quiestre]

as i said, i dont like neurosis, actually i dont like the singer, and i know amenra, was never blown away by it, but i'll check out sardonis thanks :)

[localgaz]

@MetaphorMadness

Yeah ! AmenRa is the best belgian band ! Their music makes me cry.

Sardonis is really good too.

[neurotic4ever]

What? No Neurosis? They are around for a long time and they started this all. Well it's all personal taste. People that dont know Neurosis should check them out. Really. You will thank me later.

Keep posting great music, all great bands!!!

[Quiestre]

@neurotic4ever i know neurosis, and i dont like them ^^

[AveEnd]

Cult of luna is the shit I can't believe you don't like them xD my favorite song so far is Adrift, specially the interlude that starts at around 3 minutes into the song.

[jimrhcp95]

i am a red hot chili peppers fan and i like their psychedelic stuff.i also like smashing pumpkins.i know this doesn't even come close to sludge-post metal,but now i wanna listen 2 sth harder n heavier . any suggestions ?

[Quiestre]

@jimrhcp95 try tool, and isis, especially in the abscence of truth album from isis, and tool aenima and/or lateralus that's porbably the best things you can start with, and my favourite bands :)

[rh117]

Not a Cult of Luna fan? I never heard of Humanfly and Generation of Vipers until I saw this video! Thank you for exposing these bands :)

[Quiestre]

@rh117 not really, CoL is like isis but just bad, i don't like his screaming nor the songstructures/melodies. and yeah thats pretty much why i did this video to show some new bands, especially cuz there is not much post-whatever besides posthardcore on youtube (changed a bit now but at the time i uploaded this video it wasnt really popular) you may also like Irreversible, Year of No Light or North

[rh117]

@Quiestre Irreversible is awesome! North and Year of No Light are also really good, but Irreversible is mind blowing.

[MetaphorMadness]

@Quiestre Dude, Year of No light!!! Couldn't agree more. Found them by accident on LP with their "Nord" album. At the moment one of my favourites!!!

[lifeisawesomeful]

dont like juist about all of them i aint a screamo person

[Quiestre]

@lifeisawesomeful it's not screamo, read the title it's sludge/postmetal

[fede2]

isis coulnd't have gone missing, eh?

[Quiestre]

@fede2

of course not! it's one of my overall favourite bands!

[fede2]

@Quiestre they're amazing. i'm not too immersed in the post-metal/ambient sludge world. i only know isis and i like them a lot.

[killervid]

love giant! BUT how about Oroku? Or graves at sea?

[TheSamdejs]

Perfect....I love all this bands and also I don´t like Neurosis and mastodon... I have the same opinion like you :)

[Quiestre]

haha neet =)

[aCR00KEDvulture]

No Neurosis... Great selection though

[Quiestre]

no sorry, i don't like them, the voice of the singer isn't my style..

[Halo0fTheSun]

hey,can you tell me where i can find some stuff /cd´s to buy from "Dirge" ? Never heard anything of them.I like it !

ok,thx

[gigue84]

mastodon?

[Quiestre]

not actually sludge, and not my favourite

[634devil]

@Quiestre Mastodon was sludge but have kind moved more towards progressive metal in recent years. Either way good list, I agree with most of the selections!

[Musikberoende]

Thanks :D

[innerscars]

Great list, thanks for letting me hear some new bands I didn's know ;)

[Quiestre]

thank you for watching it ;)
