Nonsun - Good Old Evil (2012)

Genre: Sludge/Drone/Doom Metal
Country: Ukraine

This was sent to me recently by Bohdon Goatooth (awesome name), a member of the band. It is a bleak, harsh mixture of stoner sludge (reminiscent of Sleep, Electric Wizard, etc.), post-metal (ala Neurosis at times) and drone (a bit of an Earth-esque or even Sunn O))) vibe). If any of these bands tickle your fancy (which they should), get on this as soon as possible. This band certainly has bright prospects if this kind/quality of stuff continues to be produced in the future.

Drug Honkey - Ghost In the Fire (2012)

Genre: Doom/Sludge/Black/Death Metal

Country: United States

Alright this shit is just mentally insane. Putrid, creepy sludge from Chicago, IL that will have you on your knees begging for the light of day to rise over the horizon. It won't, it just won't...

Lurk - Lurk (2012)

Genre: Sludge/Doom Metal
Country: Finland

Heavy and brutal sludge/doom from the deepest depths of Finland. Riffs that will smash in your face at a crawling speed and atmosphere the weight of a planet. Hell, they even manage to slide some groove into their riffs that make this seem more than just displaced heaviness. As if there was any reason to not say that the Finns do almost everything better, we have this.

Meth Drinker - Meth Drinker (2011)

Genre: Sludge/Doom Metal
Country: New Zealand

Cuz this should already be up here...nihilistic sludge that will alter your face in a way that may or may not scare little children (Depending on their tolerance for horror movies).

Cavity - Supercollider (1999)

Genre: Sludge/Doom Metal
Country: United States

Trudging sludge filled with narcissistic riffing and belligerent, tortured vocals. Fans of Eyehategod, Melvins, Noothgrush, Grief and other such bands will definitely find lots to like here.

Acid King - Busse Woods (1999)

Genre: Sludge/Stoner/Doom Metal

Country: United States

Dirty and crunching stoner metal from San Francisco with some really trippy vocals. If you are a fan of such bands as Electric Wizard and Sleep, there is no reason you shouldn't slap this on the speakers right now, take a fat toke and drift away into the monstrous riffs that this thing is chock full of.

Corrupted - El Mundo Frio (2005)

Genre: Sludge/Doom Metal
Country: Japan

So I guess Corrupted is coming out with a new album in a few days, which is superb news for anyone who loves this Japanese sludge/doom band (and really, who doesn't?). In honor of this here is their best album (that also happens to be their latest, until this new one drops), the 71-minute epic that is El Mundo Frio.

Thou EP's

Genre: Sludge/Doom Metal
Country: United States

Thou are one of the most consistent bands I can think of, and it just so happens that within the span of a few weeks they've released two separate EP's. The first, The Archer & The Owle, contains a few cover songs of Pygmy Lush and Nirvana alongside Thou's originals, while the second To The Chaos Wizard Youth are all post-Summit recordings made with their new drummer James-Roman Nee. Unfortunately The Archer & The Owl has no cover art available as of now, so you'll only get that of To The Chaos Wizard Youth.

Ensorcelor - Crucifuge (2011)

Genre: Sludge/Doom Metal
Country: Canada

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of Crucifuge. It was my first experience with the Canadian sludge/doom band, but it was certainly an impressionable one. The raspy screeches fit the melancholic tone of the music perfectly, and the album balances oppressive heaviness with moments of wandering melody extremely well. The second track is definitely the highlight here, but the entire thing is a very neat surprise.
