From Worcester in United Kingdom, this stoner rock/doom metal act brings relentless intensity to the regional scene since 2015. Monolithic compositions and oppressive atmospheres define their crushing sound.
Heavy/doom metal band from Karlsruhe, Germany, formed in 2013. Their ponderous, crushing sound combines traditional heavy metal riffing with the slow-burning weight of doom metal.
Cleveland's Hammr channel the blackened speed metal of the early 1980s with a punk-soaked fury that fits perfectly in a city with a long history of no-bullshit heavy music. Active since 2018 and showing no signs of slowing.
Hand of Omega is a sludge/doom metal band from Stoke-on-Trent, England, formed in 2020. They channel crushing sludge-doom through abrasive riffs and oppressive weight.
New Jersey's Hand of Weed keep the doom and stoner metal flame lit with fuzzed-out riffs and a smoky, slow-motion heaviness that earns every minute of its runtime. Active since 2015.
Handgun Sex Bucket is a doom metal/hardcore act from Maastricht, Netherlands, active since 2025 and channeling monolithic heaviness through its doom metal framework. The project delivers oppressive, glacially paced compositions.
Portland's Hands of Thieves cast a wide net across black, death, and doom metal, conjuring something genuinely dark and multifaceted since forming in 2016 in the Pacific Northwest underground.
Formed in London, England in 2007, Hang the Bastard operated at the intersection of sludge metal, doom, and metalcore, releasing Hellfire Reign (2010) and Sex in the Seventh Circle (2014) on Century Media Records. Their churning, downtuned riffs and hardcore-inflected aggression placed them alongside the British heavy underground scene of the late 2000s. The band disbanded in 2016 following a farewell performance at the Damnation Festival but subsequently reunited.
