SLUDGE

Switzerland’s Sludge hardly plays the expectable type of metal, most dominantly because you’ll barely find more than a handful metal-bands from the small country at all, but likewise due to the unconventional approach to a vast array of subgenres of metal in general. Sludge’s Makro is moreover involved with Samael, and since I met that band, including Makro, during one of their concerts years ago, I was a willing interviewer following the release of Sludge’s new album Lava.
