Acid Crypt is a doom metal band from Queens, New York City. Their sound draws from the crushing, riff-heavy tradition of doom, filtered through the grit of the NYC underground.
Acid Cøma channels drone, doom, and sludge metal from Vladivostok since 2014. From Russia's Pacific port — closer to Tokyo than to Moscow — they craft hallucinogenic heaviness influenced by their Far Eastern geography.
Acid Dream is a sludge, stoner, and doom metal band from Mantisque, Michigan. With three releases to their name, the band layers fuzzed-out riffs over a swampy foundation of low-tuned heaviness.
Acid Funeral is a Brazilian black/doom metal duo formed in 2024, consisting of vocalist Niili and multi-instrumentalist Billy Grind. Released through the DIY label Podreira Records out of Catanduva, São Paulo, their debut EP "The Doom Cult" (2024) fuses corrosive black metal atmosphere with slow doom riffing under the self-described banner of "Doom Rituals on Acid."
Acid Goat channels doom and stoner metal from Birmingham since 2014, bringing psychedelic heaviness to the birthplace of the genre. Their irreverent name and Second City origins connect them directly to the tradition of Black Sabbath.
Acid Hammer delivers doom and stoner metal from Amsterdam as of 2025. Their corrosive-tool name drives compositions of psychedelic heaviness from the Dutch capital.
Athens' Acid Mammoth are one of Greece's premier doom-stoner acts, crushing listeners under mammoth-sized fuzz riffs and Black Sabbath-worshipping heaviness on albums like 'Under Acid Hoof' and 'Supersonic Megafauna Collision' for Heavy Psych Sounds. Founded by father-and-son guitarists Chris Babalis Sr. and Jr., the band's family bond fuels a uniquely cohesive and devastating wall of sound.
Acid Mantra combines heavy and doom metal from Campagnola Emilia in the Reggio Emilia province since 2021. Their name suggests a ritualistic repetition of corrosive riffs, which their Emilian compositions deliver with hypnotic deliberation.
Acid Reflux channels stoner and doom metal from Rotterdam since 2019. Their gastroenterological name captures the burning, rising discomfort of their heavy, fuzz-laden sound from the Netherlands' industrial port city.
