Not strictly Sludge and Stoner, but my friend has a radio show of Psych, Doom, Stonerey goodness tonight at 10. you can listen here, if you're interested http://wmeb.fm/listen-now-maintenance.php
I am *way* too hungover to go hunting for Youtube links this morning, but some bands to check out...
Mouth of the Architect (one song of theirs has, hands down, the BEST and meanest sounding chord ever in the history of recorded music) Supercontinent Rosetta The Mire The Ocean (Collective)
While not strictly sludge, I can't imagine someone liking sludge and not liking Ken Mode. Fucking heavy as shit.
Haha, I thought about mentioning Abraham, but figured no one else would know about them. That album is sooooo good. Saloon Bizarre kicks so much ass. I don't know who, but one of their members is also in Kruger.
My band is actually playing with Orwell tomorrow and I hadn't heard their new shit yet, thanks for reminding me! And holy shit, these guys have really fucking grown. Jesus Christ, this is good.
Another sort of local/regional band around here is Battlefields - you would do well to check them out, they're getting a ton of hype over the past year or two, and it is well deserved, because they fucking slay. I would not be surprised to see them recognized on a more national scale once their new album is out.
I'm going to assume you've heard of Intronaut, but if you haven't, ignore every other recommendation in this thread and listen to them. Again, not strictly sludge, but I don't know too many people who don't like Intronaut.
Yob is my absolute favorite band, and they are sludgy as hell. Their guitarist/singer Mike Scheidt is extremely nice, and was more than willing to hang out and chat after a recent show in NYC . Their new album ATMA has some great tracks, but the mixing/mastering is very polarizing; I know some people that love it, and some that hate it.
Here's the first song of theirs I heard, Grasping Air. It's heavy as sin, and got me back into playing music after a long break.
Okay, I'm bumping this because I stumbled upon an amazing Vimeo chanel from unartig. Tons of badass "beardo" metal in here (over 500 live vids, good sound quality too);
Necro-bumping my own thread to put some stuff that I'm into now and still looking for other suggestions! If it falls into the post-rock/metal subgenre, feel free to post it aswell!
My girlfriend fell in love with Anciients, we went to see them live along with Black Wizard, was a pretty trippy gig!
