I never understood the Down hype

Hey guys, we are a sludge punk bass and drum duo and we just released a single back in July. We have a full album coming out later this year on ZBTFD records. Would appreciate if you’d check us out ❤️ if you like what you hear, give us a follow on Instagram. Our handle is @dagggered.

Much love ☯️

Hello r/sludge,

I’m your neighbor from the desert/”stoner” side of the tracks w much love for y’all style.

 

Recently jamming on the electric baritone in my usual style- lotta pentatonic minor blues influences, lotta powerchords, some chromatic ideas w a lot of tritone & some dim2, bend/slide sensations smearing the space between frets, feedback & drone noise… the pleasing sonic sensations are why I jam.

It hit me this weekend: why not try jamming in the shower where the amp will easily fill the tight space enclosed by hard reflective surfaces? Less electric energy for more sensation -> efficiency!

 

So like a crazy person I grabbed my extension cord & set up in the shower.  It was cramped and filthy but heavenly… like a sonic massage.

 

Then it hit me… I’m surrounded by S L U D G E.

 

Bath sludge. Shower sludge. Literal raw gooey grimey residue on the tiled surfaces. Soap scum, dead skin, untold billions of microorganisms thriving on the filthy grouting between ceramic tiles.

Sonic raw gooey grimey consonance & dissonance filling the space, vibrating the SLUDGE, vibrating my body, and all the microorganisms that compose myself.

 

GOOD PEOPLE of r/sludge,

1.      I highly recommend trying to create SHOWER/BATH SLUDGE with your own sound.

2.      personal music lore hypothesis: it’s called SLUDGE not only to describe the sound, but because YOU SHOULD PRACTICE IN THE SHOWER with the BATH/SHOWER SLUDGE.

😂 thanks for reading.

 

is this sludge?

it is one long take over daw drums.

Hello, anyone have and are selling their Dismal cd? I have been looking everywhere for the CD version specifically. I know there are low copies, but I'm still on a mission to get my hands on one. Please let me know! Thanks!
