Desiderium

Recorded at GOJIRA's Silver Cord Studios in Queens, New York City, SOMNURI's third album takes the Brooklyn trio ever further away from conventional notions of sludge metal. This band has always been defiant and awkward: melodic when others would be brutal, brutal when others would take their foot o...

Anatomical Venus

Faster than you can groan "Not another metal act leading with 'black' in its moniker," we have the third album from Leeds, UK art-fuzz acolytes, BLACK MOTH. Call the band stoner Brits if you feel like being crude, but this band has its eyes set on taking this subgenre's standards and doing something...

WICK

Georgia is one of contemporary American metal's saving graces. Thusly it shouldn't be a surprise that the state’s ROYAL THUNDER now claims bragging rights, alongside the esteemed company of MASTODON, BARONESS and KYLESA, as sludge-prog cream of the crop. Though ROYAL THUNDER has taken a slower cours...

Imperium Simulacra

It's been five years since BLACK COBRA released its last album, "Invernal", and the band's return means a hell of a lot to the sludge underground.

Exhausting Fire

KYLESA have proven to be one of the most evolutionary metal bands of our time. Like fellow Georgians BARONESS, it's not wholly accurate to label them sludge, much less metal, though the two are the primary palettes both create in. Since 2009's "Static Tensions", KYLESA has sought an identity outside...
