Cult Of Luna - Swedish Band

[Alex Ros]

It's not "waiting". The whole musical genre "sludge" is based on that "waiting". It's an extremely eclectic genre, it mixes a very gentle boring-repetitive-meditative melodies-passages with an extremely hard-heavy tunes. And most of times there's no vocals at all (a lot of completely instrumental bands) or very little of vocals, mostly growling. Another "sign" of the sludge genre is the unusually long tracks from 6 minutes to 20-30 minutes, yeah, I am not joking. Somehow this genre is a strange, really strange mixture of a dark-ambient (Lustmord for example) and a drone-doom-metal (Neurosis and Napalm Death as examples).
