Dallas sludge metal outfit Cheap Pipe drags down-tuned riffs through thick, tar-coated grooves with the oppressive patience that defines the genre's southern American strain. Their sound is heavy in the way that Texas heat is heavy — inescapable and grinding.
Denton sludge outfit Chokey grind out dense, suffocating riffs rooted in the Texas underground. Their sound leans into the abrasive, feedback-drenched side of the genre.
Dual-vocalist sludge metal/hardcore featuring Andrea Russi and Alyce H. Smith up front. A punishing addition to Houston's heavy underground.
Dallas's Construction Sports are a genre-bending experiment in extremity, hurling death metal, grindcore, sludge, and power metal into chaotic collision in one of Texas's most unpredictable and adventurous heavy acts.
San Antonio doom/sludge band that buries listeners under slow, crushing riffs and a suffocating low-end. Their bleak sonic weight reflects the heaviest strains of Southern sludge.
San Antonio trio fusing black metal's cold menace with the suffocating weight of doom and sludge. Their music moves with deliberate malice, rooted deep in the South Texas underground.
Heavy Sludge / Stoner Metal from Dallas.
Austin crust/sludge outfit Cross Builder drag heavy, corroded riffs through a punk-rooted framework, trading in the grimy intersection of crust punk nihilism and sludge metal density.
