I thought Sludge Metal was bands like Monarch, Acid Bath, Wreck of the Hesperus, Crowbar, Goatsblood, etc?

Anyway, I find your post interesting but I really dislike the term post-metal. Maybe its the elitist in me but It makes it sound like some sort of hipster movement for indie rockers.

	^I agree, although I'd have placed Wreck of the Hesperus in funeral doom. And they're the roots of what we have now - I think of post-metal as Sludge from the hardcore direction, with much of the "evil" removed.

	Hey does anyone know of any books about Post-Metal? I'm currently doing a research assignment for this genre. - John
