The Tractor might not be where you’d expect to find a member of heavy drone gods Neurosis doing a solo gig, but Scott Kelly is one of a few elder sludge metal statesmen—along with Earth’s Dylan Carlson—finding new possibilities for heaviness in the realm of acoustic guitar twang. Which is not to say that he’s gone alt-country or anything; rather, Kelly’s predominantly acoustic solo songs, on albums such as 2008’s The Wake, display all the deliberate, slow-riffing, sustained drones, and low, grim vocals that, with some amplification, would code as doom metal of the darkest order. You could call it adult-contemporary indie folk for the hesher set—but dude still kind of sounds like he could devour you without much remorse, so maybe don’t. With Jay Munly, Bob Wayne. ERIC GRANDY
