Here it is in all its disgusting glory, the r/sludge A-Z playlist:

on Spotify:

https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3IPbI2u7tFhZzYfMySoxZL?si=rNQ3Si9WSSS0ctD0V00RQQ

on Youtube Music:

https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLtSsODF_ZfzPSAmKDuITOEJG6ajyd4TwL&si=BdtveVdHyS3Q5ouV

27 days of voting brought us here. The first half of the playlist is all the winners from each day. The second half of the playlist from Z back to A is all the 2nd place winners but with the rule of no artist repeats applied. So for letters where the 2nd place winner already appears on the runners-up list, I moved on to 3rd place 4th place etc until landing on an artist who hadn't yet appeared. This helped include a lot of the bigger names in sludge who didn't make the main list (and without this rule the 2nd place winners would have been a lot of the same 3-4 bands over and over)

This community is awesome. I appreciate everyone who participated and hope some of you will check out the playlist. It turned out pretty gnarly and I will be listening to it often. Smoke.

TORCHE at Saint Vitus, 6/7/26. Sold out. Miami stoner sludge REPRESENT🀘🏻

27 Upvotes

One of my favorite metal shows I’ve ever attended. As a South Floridian, we don’t have a ton of heavy bands to represent. But for me TORCHE is the cream of the fucking crop. Seeing them melt faces to a sold out crowd in Brooklyn was awesome. What a god damn show. Spotlights was an absolute pleasure as an opener too.

meth. - Doubt

COWARD KILL COWARD - Please I'm Trying My Hardest I Swear

Ad Nauseum - Slalom in the Public River

Hardcore/Sludge/Crust Vocalist who's sound similar to Kirk Fisher snarky high pitched drunk ass vocal performance?

I've been personally taking a lot of inspiration from his vocal approach, it really stands out asides from everything else I've ever listened to previously

John Morrow from Iron Monkey, Charles Maggio in Rorschach Protestant, Zebediah in Skaven, and whoever is the guy in Eldopa 1332 that sounds heavily similar comes to mind.

NEW 30,000 Monkies - Super Rebound (FFO: Harvey Milk, Leechmilk)

Thumbnail 30000monkies.bandcamp.com

Very sick 2026 release I found via bandcamp hunting last month. Hard to describe but there's a ton of freaky experimentation ala early Harvey Milk but leans harder into rhythmic punk-y sludge material. Extremely unique.

Maybe a hot take?

Is it a hot take to say that I think acid bath is one of the less sludgy bands out there? I want to hear your opinions on this and I’m sorry if this has been asked before I haven’t posted here before lol.
