I know Isis and Cult of Luna! I won't have to make a start on that sweater.

I'm rubbish with genres

Thanks

I know all of those bands to some degree, except for Acid Bath. I like all of them okay... Though I haven't heard much of any of them. I do have an Isis album and a few Neurosis albums, though.

i still dont know wat sludge is

As you like Nirvana so much you should check out albums by the Melvins and Earth. Kurt Cobain was a big fan of both and those two bands heavily (no pun intended) influenced Sludge Metal. Sludge is related to doom metal. Both are what their names imply - heavy and slow.

i'll look into it

Yeah, the Melvins are good... Though considering their output, it's unfair to merely pigeonhole them as "sludge." But that's basically what their earlier stuff is.

That's why I made the distinction that the Melvins influenced sludge metal. They mostly predate it. The bands inspired by them and a few others fully developed the sludge metal sound.
