Hazael is a death metal (early/later); doom/gothic metal (mid) band from Płock, Poland, formed in 2020. They craft crushing doom-death compositions steeped in oppressive heaviness.
Hazarder is a doom/sludge metal band from Zagreb (early); Barcelona, Croatia, formed in 2013. They channel crushing sludge-doom through abrasive riffs and oppressive weight.
Minneapolis stoner/doom outfit Haze Gazer emerged in 2021 with a sound that splits the difference between desert-baked fuzz rock and proper doom metal weight, its slow tempos and thick atmosphere shaped by the long, dark Minnesota winters as much as any California sun. The result is northern heavy psych at its most enveloping.
Baltimore's Haze Mage conjure stoner/doom with a genuine sorcerer's patience — unhurried riffs stack over glacial rhythms while the vocals drift through the fog. Active since 2017, they're part of a vibrant Maryland heavy scene that has long punched above its weight.
Operating from Stockholm, this stoner/doom metal/rock project has been shaping harsh sound since 2017. Slow, deliberate riffing and suffocating atmospheres form the foundation of their craft.
Hazewall is a doom metal act from Poland, active since 2025 and channeling monolithic heaviness through its doom metal framework. The project delivers oppressive, glacially paced compositions.
Hazing Lungs is a stoner/doom metal band from Porto, Portugal, active since 2026 and delivering crushing, fuzz-laden heaviness where doom's oppressive weight meets stoner metal's hazy grooves. The project channels low-end power and psychedelic atmosphere.
Boston's Head in Hand navigate the slow-motion grief of sludge/doom/post-metal, crafting music that moves at the pace of catastrophe and carries the weight to match. Since 2020 they've contributed to a New England extreme scene that has increasingly embraced heavy, meditative forms.
Black/Doom Metal outfit rooted in Stockholm, channeling menacing underground intensity since 2013. Their sound channels tremolo-driven fury and blasting percussion through walls of distortion.
