I really like Metric. They have some acoustic versions of songs that are glorious - that was my inroad for them. Their full production stuff (I only know older material) is great as well.

Some post-rock from Japan:
TBH I am not so much in to MONO but this is good.

Yeah! I lived there at the time they formed myself
Well, close anyway, not in the city at that time. I never ended up seeing them.
Seems we are having āDutch weekā elsewhere in this forum, so Iāll add The Nits with their āHoliday on Iceā from way back whenā¦ I always thought this was such a cool song, with the occasional Moog bass the āicingā on the cake:
Happy lockdown Friday!!

Ha, for a split second I thought it said āParker Lewisā in the title 
So, is this sludge too? Proto-sludge? Neo-sludge? Post-sludge?? I am so lost, guysā¦

This is straight up post-rock. On the hard side and a little metallic in places though

post-metal. (but yeah āpost-rockā is not a bad answer 
). but itās not sludge at all.

I think you invented this musical style, now you have to let us know what it is !

Yeah, right, that would be like having the vegetarian explain the different cuts for steaksā¦
I think your first new, original composition posted here, @terb, will start the neo-sludge movement - I am convinced of that!!
sludge :
proto-sludge / pre-sludge (which is somewhere between stoner or grunge, and actual sludge) (this song is VERY early pre-sludge, even pre-stoner in fact) :
post-sludge (which is the sludgy side of post-metal) :
not sure ā¦ post-desert-rock would work, but not really neo-sludge 
another of my original compositions would work better in this role :
pretty much a sludgy song with an almost electro feel (this thing is 8 yr old )

I might be getting old, Laurent, but I am sure we have had the first one before, and also your own songā¦ But, a good time to introduce your previous creative output to the new folks on the forum!! And to get a primer on the degrees of sludgeness out thereā¦
By the way, you guys should have done the soundtrack for the Blair Witch Projectā¦ you must have had the same cameraman 
thatās possible ! at least you already had a song from Dopethrone (not necessarily this one ? not sure) and very possibly my old song. it was just here for illustration purpose, no spamming intended !
just to be sure, here is another song from Dopethrone, the album which defined SLUDGE :
and another one because why not :
and one from Dopesick (Eyehategod), same year (2000) :
I love sludge so much 
(all of those songs are pure sludge)

I knowā¦ 
So, the sounds in the beginning of the Dopethrone song reminded me of something: would this then be (partially) proto-sludge in some way (or sludge/classic cross-over)??
