Sludge metal (aka Sludge Doom) is a genre of metal that takes inspiration from Doom Metal. Sludge is kind of like the raunchy cousin of Doom. Sludge is very prominent in the South, many of the earliest bands [on the scene] began there ([particularly] in New Orleans area) such as Eyehategod. Sludge metal is typically more aggressive than doom, taking inspiration from punk (indeed members of EHG and Down formed Crust punk band Arson Anthem). Lyrical content generally focuses around suffering, drug and [alcohol abuse], and politics. Some bands include: The Melvins Superjoint Ritual Weedeater Buzzov*en Eyehategod Rwake (pronounced 'Wake') Down Isis Neurosis Jesu Baroness Crowbar And many others. Bands such as The Melvins have been credited to have first touched on and inspired the sludge sound, and Eyehategod is generally credited to have broken the scene open.
