A five-piece band from Athens, Greece (four musicians plus a 'rolling engineer'), Sadhus "The Smoking Community" have a very bluesy sludge sound with extreme crust-style vocals.

In a similar vein to Bongzilla and Dopethrone, among others in the weed-inspired side of the genre, their music is aggressive and often pulverizingly heavy. The pace can vary from glacial to frantic, sometimes within a single track.

Their latest LP, Illegal Sludge (2023), is like a dangerous, highly intoxicating whiskey made at an illegal distillery. The doomy Sabbathian riffs, merged with powerful rhythms and caveman vocals, will not only inebriate listeners but also please the palate of those who crave all things doom and sludge. Sadhus do a stellar job of not only emulating Iommi’s defining riff style but also injecting their own raw, caustic sludge sound into each song.
