The Sound of Louisiana Metal

"The Sound of Louisiana Metal" is a gritty dive into the loud, sludgy, and often chaotic world of heavy music born below the Mason-Dixon line. This playlist brings together decades of underground brutality, sludge-drenched riffs, and genre-defining aggression from a wide range of metal subgenres, all hailing from Louisiana. From the crushing doom-laden weight of Crowbar’s “Planets Collide” to the blistering blackened assault of Goatwhore’s “Apocalyptic Havoc,” the state’s diverse and uncompromising sound is well-represented.

You'll hear voices of sonic rebellion through Eyehategod’s gritty nihilism, the off-the-rails grindcore of Soilent Green, and the raw, punk-edged chaos of Arson Anthem. There’s nods to the legacy of NOLA mainstays like DOWN and Superjoint, alongside lesser-known but equally intense acts like Stressball, Ritual Killer, and Suplecs. The mix ranges from sludge and doom to death, black, grind, and experimental metal, stitching together the threads of a scene that’s always been more about attitude and guts than polish. It’s loud, it’s dirty, it’s the swamp-bred sound of defiance.
