Southern metal?

[alexmurphy]

I don't mean country metal, i mean metal that is either heavily influenced by the south (be it deserts, trailer parks...anything with an overall "dirty" tone would work). Every Time I Die is about the only band i know that can even take claim to being southern metal, and even in their case I don't see it much. Anyone have some examples? I'd love to hear what the world of metal has to offer in this case.

 

[BigPhi84]

Pantera and Lamb of God? (I really don't know)

 

[MrMcSick]

Down - Nola!

 

[rlott1]

Sevendust, Stuck Mojo...

 

[Slayer89]

I always think of stuff like Down, Fireball Ministry, etc.

 

[ugg im kyle]

Maylene & The Sons Of Disaster! If you want some southern metal, THAT'S the way to go man!

Maylene and the Sons of Disaster



And of course, Clutch

(be it deserts, trailer parks or maybe even racism)

Dude, seriously?

Check out Breaux. They're the best elements of MATSOD and ETID mashed together in my opinion. They're a somewhat small band, but their Brown Bag EP was definitely one of my favorite releases from 2009.

Alabama Thunderpussy
Down
Clutch
Maylene And The Sons of Disaster
Lamb of God
Damageplan
Hellyeah
Nine Pound Hammer (these guys did the theme for 12oz Mouse )
Pride and Glory
Ted Nugent (more rock but still)

Seriously, you must of heard Pantera. Definitely southern metal (See the album "The Great Southern Trendkill).

+1 for DOWN
Amazing band...absolutely great stuff.
Though, there's so much going on there, I don't know if they'd fit under just 'Southern Metal'
All you need to know is Anselmo + Keenan + Windstein + Brown + Bower = fykkin amazin'!

Desert-influenced stuff? how about some nice and sludgey KYUSS?! They pretty much ARE the desert...in sonic format.

...and then of course there's Radiohead, who belongs at the top of this list.

Okay, this list just dominated all us slower folk...though I wouldn't put LoG on there personally...but this could be one of my many deep seeded personal issues

Dude, seriously?

I changed it a bit. Sorry if i offended anyone

Maylene = Win! im gettig a cd by them right fucking now.
Clutch = not as impressive, but i'll get a cd nonetheless.

It's cool, just wasn't sure what you meant by it

Clutch is pretty awesome, more chill-out groove than thrashy, but the album "Blast Tyrant" is great to get you in a good mood when played loud.

Redneck for me sells it, plus they're really open about being from...I believe they put it, "Richmond-mother-fucking-Virginia"

Newer Clutch to me is better, check out some of their stuff from either "Strange Cousins From The West" or "From Beale Street to Oblivion"

Pretty sure ETID is from Buffalo. How are they southern metal? Just wondering.
