    Love me some sludge. Eyehategod and Acid Bath in particular are amazing, so I’ll look into Iron Monkey.

    And I can see the sludge in Conan, especially the faster passages like the end of “Krull” and “Battle in the Swamp.”

    I get why people don’t really like classifying bands as one specific subgenre, because for whatever reason metalheads get really angry if they disagree with you. Mainly, I like talking about music, so while I get only using subgenres as a way to find similar bands, I also just enjoy the conversation and I don’t have doomer friends IRL. The few metalheads I do see on a regular basis are thrashers and BHM fans that don’t listen to anything released after 1990…

    So just to put a button in the funeral conversation, would you describe AHAB as funeral? I don’t know how much drone they have, but they’ve definitely got “slower death/doom” in spades.

    Edit: nvm, I saw you posted AHAB as funeral the other day.

      Conan have some cool influences and ideas. There’s those sludgy bits, but also stoner doom bits, and straight up heavy metal bits.

      Yeah I love having conversations about music too, hoping this sub becomes a good place to do it!

      There’s a couple of funeral bands that lean more into the death metal influence for certain songs and can get faster. Ahab and Esoteric come to mind.
