Boston's Earthlore moves through psychedelic heavy metal, stoner, and doom with the measured confidence of a band that knows the territory — formed in 2019 and building something warmer and more textured than pure doom alone.

Doom, drone, and stoner metal project from the UK, active since 2015. They explore the heaviest depths of slow, massive metal.
Atmospheric doom and post-metal act from Nuremberg, Germany, building expansive, immersive soundscapes since 2019. Their approach blends the crushing weight of doom with the dynamic, textural breadth of post-metal.
Out of Tempe, Arizona since 2021, Earthwalker layers the crushing weight of sludge over doom's slow funeral crawl, conjuring something heavy enough to sink into the desert floor.
Formed in 2023 in the small town of Colfax, Washington, Earthworks deals in the kind of stoner doom that feels carved from rural isolation — slow, hazy, and built to outlast the weekend.
One of Portland, Maine's longer-running heavy acts, Eastern Spell has been casting their particular brand of sludge-doom since 2013 — dense, slow-burning songs where the misery accumulates like snowpack.
