New Hampshire's Hobo Wizard conjure doom and stoner metal with the kind of grim, scrappy personality their name implies — heavy, slow, and unconcerned with refinement. The project, active since 2022, sounds like it was assembled from salvaged parts and is better for it.

Out of Norwich, Connecticut, Holding On to Nothing has been mining the grief-soaked terrain where doom metal meets hard rock since 2016. Their music leans into the weight of loss without surrendering the riff.
