Boris' "Amplifier Worship" is post-sludge metal

First Post April 01, 2023 01:24 AM

Boris' debut album is generally tagged as a drone metal/sludge metal hybrid however there's a lot more to it than that. I have it tagged as follows:


1 Huge (9:16)                    Drone metal/Sludge metal

2 Ganbou-Ki (15:46)        Post-sludge metal

3 Hama (7:32)                  Post-sludge metal

4 Kuruimizu (14:29)        Post-sludge metal

5 Vomitself (16:56)         Drone metal


The drone metal component really only amounts to the first half of "Huge" & the entirety of "Vomitself" so I don't think it's significant enough to warrant a tag at Metal Academy. The predominant genre is post-sludge metal for mine so I'd like to see the drone metal tag removed & an atmospheric sludge metal tag added. A sludge metal tag needs to be maintained in order to see the album continuing to be associated with The Fallen which it clearly should be. I've posted two entries in the Hall of Judgement, one to have the drone metal genre removed & another to have the release added to The Infinite under the atmospheric sludge metal subgenre.

These two nominations have been posted in the Hall of Judgement.
