It's not always easy for me to recommend things to other people due to different personal preferences and different definitions of genres. A lot of great bands have been mentioned. I've seen doom bands, sludge bands and sludge/doom bands. When I think of sludge, I think of bands like Eyehategod, Weedeater, Crowbar, Bongzilla, Buzzov*en, Fudge Tunnel, etc. With doom, I think of Cathedral, Saint Vitus, Pentagram, Reverend Bizarre, Candlemass, etc. Sludge/doom, I think of Church Of Misery, Earthride, Sleep, Monolord, etc. That being said, I really love the two Goatess albums as a new doom band! Kinda melodic but heavy, with great singing. I would recommend Eagle Twin, With The Dead, Curse The Sun, Graves At Sea, Dopelord, Ramesses and Wizard Smoke as Sludge/Doom bands. I liked the last couple Zoroaster (from ATL) albums. I loved the last Apostle Of Solitude as a doom album. Check out Doomriders...silly name, but great band by members of Converge/Cave In. I would recommend The Mighty Nimbus, Mala Suerte and Behold! The Monolith as sludge bands...also, if you like a little more sludge metal, check out Soilent Green from NOLA. Check out a sludge band from Brighton called Dopefight. Personally, I am a huge Yob fan...as well as Warhorse, so I can't imagine you not liking them? But that is the beauty of varying perspectives on this site. That's all I can think of now. Hope this helps...if not, fuck off...kidding.
