Sludge metal, or simply sludge, is a subgenre of heavy metal that primarily emerged around New Orleans, United States, in the mid-1980s.
The genre mixes elements of doom metal and hardcore punk, and sometimes grunge and noise rock.
Sludge metal bands initially engage in slow, downbeat music, typically characterized by heavy rhythms and a dark atmosphere, simplified instrumentation, and lyrics often laden with nihilistic messages.
The term "sludge" is used to designate the so-called "muddy" guitar sound due in particular to the strong distortions and fuzz associated with the deliberately dirty sound in the pure tradition of hardcore punk and extreme metal.
