Sludge metal is a heavy metal subgenre that combines elements of doom metal, hardcore punk, and Southern rock. It is characterized by slow tempos, heavily distorted guitars, and a thick, heavy sound. The lyrics often focus on themes of despair, suffering, and nihilism. Sludge metal bands often use feedback and distortion to create a thick, oppressive atmosphere. Commonly used instruments include electric guitars, bass guitars, drums, and vocals.
