Analysis of information sources in references of the Wikipedia article "Sludge metal" in English language version.
Punk and metal may have gotten together to create sludge, but they were an infertile couple. Someone else had to provide the turkey baster that would lead to the resulting offspring of the clash of seemingly disparate genres, one that even if it shouldn't be labeled can still be seen as a distinct, unique musical entity. 'Honestly in the beginning it was like, old Swans, SPK. That's where we got the feedback and shit and the noise,' explains EyeHateGod drummer Joey LaCaze on said baster. 'The industrial side, the sampling, like the first album and all the Manson shit we did on Take As Needed for Pain,' continues Mike IX Williams, 'that was like Throbbing Gristle influence you know.'
