Godflesh's "Merciless" isn't Sludge Metal

If anyone can hear any sludge metal in Godflesh's 1994 "Merciless" E.P. then they have better ears than I do. The title track is certainly more doom metal than anything else but sludge? Nup. I don't buy it. Half of the E.P. doesn't even have much in the way of metal guitars & sits best under the straight-up industrial tag. Let's have this removed from The Fallen as it simply doesn't require a second clan assignment in my opinion.
