Sludgecore

Sludgecore (aka hardcore sludge) is the term used for Hardcore Punk slowed down to a plodding pace using downtuned guitars, and rivals the acoustics of Doom Metal like Black Sabbath. It is also the underground precursor to Grunge. The forerunners of this sub-genre are Crowbar, EYEHATEGOD, The Melvins, Down, Neurosis, Buzzoven, and Bongzilla.
