I've heard a little bit of Melvins but so far they haven't actually done much for me.

I'm looking for recommendations in the genre, preferably regular sludge for now opposed to atmospheric sludge. I may end up liking the latter more but I want to put myself through a crash course in the regular stuff first if you know what I mean. 

Nice to see someone else getting into Kylesa, love them! Thumbs Up

Crowbar is my first recommendation to anyone looking to get into actual sludge metal, one of my favorite bands and probably the best live show I've ever been to. You can't go wrong with any of their albums, they're all amazing.

Since you like Mastodon, I think you'd probably enjoy Baroness and Bison B.C. 

Superjoint Ritual, Obake, Floor, Cavity, Lord By Fire, and Brothers of the Sonic Cloth are all amazing too.

^I´ve listened to a lot of Melvins in recent years and saw them live too a couple of years ago. I really enjoy them a lot. I started with "A Senile Animal" and I still think it´s a great release. You should check out "Here Comes the Waterworks" by Big Business too. The two guys from that band now also play in Melvins and that album is really great.

I've been listening to sludge/post-metal like crazy lately! Primarily High On Fire, but others as well! I love Mastodon of course, but am also gaining a liking for other bands as well...Baroness has a nice melodic sound to it(surprising for sludge!), and I'm checking out one of the godfathers of sludge, the Melvins.

Y'all should check out Rorcal's Heliogabalus. 70 minutes of heavy as heavy can get sludge. Great stuff.

i also like Gojira but they are hardly Sludge :(, and Isis and Mastodon, the Sword, Electric Wizards, Baronness, Kylesa sounds good to, and the Norwegian outfitt Kvelertak are somewhat sludg/black metal hybreed

Baroness and Black Tusk are pretty good too, if you like Mastodon. They have some similar aesthetics but go about music in different ways...
