Bossk - .1 and .2 EPs

Bossk is an atmospheric sludge metal band. They released two EPs and a split with Rinoa. They're also named after a bounty hunter in fucking Star Wars, man. How are you going to say that shit ain't cool? They're named after a goddamn reptile bounty hunter.

.1

.2

Birushanah - Akai Yami

Birushanah are band who unfortunately don't get the attention they warrant and deserve, playing a rather experimental form of what I think could still be qualified as Sludge/Doom. Complementing the pounding and extravagant rhythms with Japanese percussion, the craftiness and drive they carry in their sound sets them apart from plenty of bands. People who enjoy Corrupted's way of putting you out of your place will love this.

Raw Radar War/Deer Creek split

If you have a spare five dollars and some extra for shipping, you have no excuse not to buy this vinyl record off of CM distro's clearance section. Anyway, this kickass split features two relatively unknown bands, Raw Radar War and Deer Creek. RWR floats somewhere in between (crusty?) Sludge/Doom and (metallic?) Hardcore. Sludgecore? idkaidgaf. Deer Creek is a bit more Doomy overall, although I wouldn't call them trad. Doom. Very dirty rockin' with a sense of humour and a cool last cover, kudos if you know which two songs are mashed together and shame on you if you don't.

Starkweather discography

in the early works in particular, like listening to a sludged up punk version of Black Sabbath and Morbid Angel.

Crossbearer
Into the Wire
Croatoan

Moloch - Moloch

Moloch is based in the UK, playing some pretty damn grimey Sludge/Doom. This is their self-titled EP, released in 2008 via shifty records (and still available). Four tracks who trudge along in British waste, with some handsome hardcore shifts inbetween, supported by very potent vocals.

Anal Cunt / Eyehategod - Tribute to Black Sabbath

heading off to the islands for 10 days, so I'll leave you all with a homework assignment.
this is some required listening, a split with Anal Cunt and Eyehategod entitled "In These Black Days: A Tribute to Black Sabbath Vol. 1" totaling in at 11.5 minutes.
there are following volumes of the In These Black Days series, but none can quite capture the almost light-hearted and soul-pounding combination of this record. you'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll cum uncontrollably. now get to work, students.
