Sludge metal

Hey kiddo! Sludge metal is a type of music that is really heavy and super slow. Imagine a big, heavy truck driving through mud, that's what sludge metal sounds like.

The musicians in sludge metal bands use really low-tuned guitars and basses to create a muddy, thick sound. They also often use distorted and fuzzy guitar effects to make the sound even dirtier.

The singing in sludge metal can be really harsh and growling or clean and melodic, but it always sounds intense and powerful.

Some bands that play sludge metal are Crowbar, Eyehategod, and Acid Bath. If you're looking for an example, listen to the Crowbar song "Planets Collide," and you'll get a good idea of what sludge metal is all about.
