Sludge and Doom Recommendations

[Valthrudnir]

I've always had a strong appreciation of all things Black Sabbath, and this extends to the genres Sabbath gave birth to. I know a ton of bands, but my collection in this sub-genre is mediocre at best. I'm thinking along the lines of bands like Acid Bath, Eyehategod, Electric Wizard, Cathedral, sHEAVY, Iron Monkey, Sleep, Mushroom River Band, Candlemass, Skepticism, Novembers Doom, etc. I'll listen to anything, so fire away.

Hey, we just had this thread!

I'm only going to recommend two bands though.  If you like Sabbath, you need to listen to Pentagram and Witchfinder General.  They're a lot like Sabbath, the doom and gloom, but with that kind of early "Metal" that Zep and co delivered.

I see the other thread now, so this one can be discarded, locked, or whatever.

Pentagram and Witchfinder General are good stuff. Hank III does a good Pentagram medley live.

Good suggestions all in terms of good music, but I'm not sure if they're quite the sort of things he's after. Most of those are quite drone orientated, which can be a very acquired taste.
