Floor

Floor is an American band from Miami, Florida, known for pioneering a unique blend of sludge metal, doom metal, and stoner rock with a notable use of the "bomb string"—a specific guitar tuning where one string is tuned to the same note as the bass guitar, which creates a heavy, droning sound. The band was originally formed in 1992 by Steve Brooks (guitar, vocals), Anthony Vialon (bass, guitar), and Betty Monteavaro (drums), though the lineup changed several times throughout the years, with Steve Brooks being the consistent figure.

Despite disbanding in 1996 and having a brief revival in 2001, Floor made a strong comeback in the 2010s, solidifying their reputation in the underground music scene. Their influential self-titled album "Floor" released in 2002 garnered a cult following, and in 2014 they issued their long-awaited follow-up, "Oblation," to critical praise. Their sound, characterized by thunderous riffs, melodic harmonies, and Brooks's distinctive vocal style, has cemented them as an influential force in the heavy music genre. Their discography, including singles like "The Ladder / Diamond Daves Are Forever" and "Sight & Seen," as well as compilations such as "Dove" and "Self-Titled + Outtakes," showcases the band's evolution and unrelenting creative drive. Floor's contribution to the metal scene is one that resonates with a fervent fanbase, sustained by their powerful and unique sonic identity.
