Oh no... I have very limited experience with Sludge metal and the little amount of exposure with this subgenre was not the most pleasant for me. I have listened to a bunch of metal since then so maybe this wouldn't be as harsh to my battered and bruised ears this time around...
Ok I made it to the other side, and I have learned that I am now dead enough inside after being bombarded by extreme metal this past half year that I can at least tolerate this. Definitely still not for me but at least I am not appalled by its extreme nature anymore.
