I like sludge metal more than stoner metal though.

I'm prefering slower music, not lighter, just slower. Hell, I'll take it to the Sunn O))) extreme, even they rock. Oh, and Eyehategod is great sludge. I was recommended Elder for being similar to Sleep, they're really good too.

I agree about eyehategod and Sunn 0))). There are tons of bands that do something between doom and other genres of music that are pretty good. Unearthly Trance, for example.

I've always been into the gloomy & doomy side of metal, though, probably since it fits my bleak world view and tendency towards melancholic moods. When I flip through my metal albums, there's a smattering of death & grindcore mixed in with mostly sub genres of doom and symphonic black metal.

Take As Needed for Pain is probably the best eyehategod album. I was listening to it in the car earlier and remembered this thread.

The only song I really like on the Probot album is the Lemmy song.
