Because of the relentless, pounding humidity and heat, a different kind of anger boils in the veins of Southern metal cowpokes. Southern metal is at all times heavy, like metal should be, but it's also lethargic at times, with a sweet tea in hand, sitting on the porch, and sometimes it's wild with beer while off-roading, or bluesy, with all its exes living in Texas. These bands have the dirtiest and most calloused hands in the metal world, spitting out a brand of attitude unlike the rest of the country. Keep reading for the ten best Southern metal bands.

#4. Down was the first supergroup of sludge metal to form during the style's emergence in the early '90s. Inhaling the movement's materialization and blowing out a bluesier stoner cough of sludge, Down couldn't be any more burly, with good ol' Southern brutality in the company of Pantera's Phil Anselmo, Pepper Keenan of Corrosion of Conformity, Kirk Windstein from Crowbar, and Jimmy Bower from Eyehategod in the band's shotgun lineup.Check out the rest of the bands, including COC, EYEHATEGOD, Crowbar and Pantera!
