Berlin-based sludge/doom trio likened to a nuclear-powered icebreaker, delivering mighty riffs, groove, and psychedelic heaviness since 2013. Their six-album catalog from "As If She Were a Black Bird" through 2024's "Soar" channels influences from Melvins, Mastodon, and Crowbar through a distinctly Berlin lens.
Doom and stoner metal band from Paris, France formed in 2018. They conjure heavy, earth-shaking riffs with occult overtones from the French capital.
Self-proclaimed purveyors of "Dope Doom" and "Bong Metal" from Kiel, Germany, whose riff-worshipping stoner/doom metal has earned them a devoted following since 2018. Their discography from "One Earth One Bong" through "Church of Bong" embraces the ritualistic side of stoner doom with a tongue-in-cheek spirit.
Doom metal band from Helsinki, Finland active since 2013. They craft heavy, low-end doom from the Finnish capital.
When Eartheater emerged in 2015 from Ånge, they brought with them a sound rooted in doom metal and stoner metal — all desert-baked tonality and psychedelic haze over lumbering rhythms. The combination of influences yields something more interesting than any single genre label implies.
San Antonio's Earthen has been operating in the heavy doom metal tradition since 2005, a Texas band that moves at a funeral pace and draws on the long shadows the state's harder rock history casts over everything beneath it.
Chicago's Earthen Grave has been writing a doom/thrash hybrid since 2012 — a combination that's more coherent than it sounds, letting heavy riffs breathe while never losing the genre's underlying tension and drive.
Doom and stoner metal band from West Yorkshire, England active since 2016. They channel heavy, ritualistic doom from the Yorkshire hills.
Denver's Earthen Tongue, active since 2015, merges doom metal's weight with the colder textures of black metal, producing something appropriately bleak for a band with "666" in their Bandcamp handle.
