What's "dragon voice"? Googling for that mostly gets me stuff about the speech-to-text software "Dragon Naturally Speaking", plus something about a manga entitled "Dragon Voice." Is it anything like so-called "Cookie Monster" vocals?
Is the Melvins' surrealistic approach to words a feature of sludge more generally? One of the hallmarks of both their album art and their lyrics is that they are more adjacent to the Butthole Surfers than Aleister Crowley. I fricken love that, half the time they could be singing about household chores.
So when I heard you describe what it's like, what I imagined was more like Sleep than the other bands. I liked that one the best. The other ones sound like ...they should be faster or something. Well, not the Nirvana one, but that was the least interesting of the bunch. And I like Nirvana generally.
Grinding Process--YES! The first time I heard that song it hit me so hard I can still remember exactly where and when it was. Those early Melvins recordings are awesome. (I mean, so are the later ones...)
This is awesome, thank you. I only ever dabble in heavy/metal so have a hard time finding stuff I really like, and so far I enjoy this. Where do people place bands like Neurosis and YOB? I've found I really really like those bands, sludge seems adjacent.
Damn man I zone out on the cultural hot takes stuff but Freddie Explains Metal To The Squares is a genre I can get behind. You’re doing God’s work here brother
Schubert kiiiiinda sorta did this in the trio to the scherzo of the C major quintet
Thanks! I love stuff like this. I like learning about new (to me) genres, and stuff like this is really helpful.

my friends and I had a two year long group chat where we made up new verses to Dopesmoker. sometimes you can hear us parodying Om.

Corrupted. Earth (2). Weakling.
First, you dissed waxing poetic about "the iron"
in one of the weightlifting posts, and now you say you don't like Black Flag. What's with the anti-Rollins-ism?

Primitive Man is probably the best band playing in this style right now IMO.
I love a lot of grunge and Industrial rock, but haven’t - for no particular reason - listened to a ton of this stuff. Very helpful.
