Psychedelic doom and stoner metal band from Leicester, England, formed in 2013, channeling cosmic visions through hazy, heavy psychedelic doom. They bring otherworldly, Saturn-worshipping heaviness to the East Midlands.
Proyecto Alud are a stoner/doom power trio from Mercedes, Buenos Aires province, who blend heavy fuzz-driven riffs with sludge and experimental textures. Since forming in 2021, they have released two albums: Rancho Relaxo in July 2021 and Brama de ciervo rojo in January 2022, both available on Bandcamp and major streaming platforms.
Melodic doom and death metal band from Vyborg, Russia, active since 2001, named after psychedelic mushroom larvae. Over two decades they have crafted melodic, hallucinatory doom-death from the Finnish border region.
Rotenburg's Project Thunderbolt fires on all cylinders with a heavy-groove-thrash hybrid since 2014. Their Lower Saxon base and electrifying name promise high-voltage metal that hits with the force their moniker demands.
Psychedelic doom metal band from Katrineholm, Sweden, formed in 2023, conjuring hallucinatory doom through ritual psychedelia. They bring occult visions to the Swedish doom scene.
Fort Myers, Florida's Psychic Dose traffics in psychedelic stoner-doom — slow, narcotic riffing saturated in fuzz and reverb, evoking sun-scorched Southern haze with a heavy, lysergic weight that builds across their songs.
A freshly formed doom and stoner metal act out of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Psychic Shiv emerged in 2025 wielding the Rust Belt's blunt force through heavy, slow-burn riffs and a crushing low-end that anchors their nascent sound.
Gothic and industrial rock turned gothic doom and black metal band from Slupsk, Poland, formed in 2013, evolving from electronic-tinged gothic rock into heavier, more extreme territory. Their mushroom-derived name hints at psychedelic transformation.
Eugene, Oregon's Psyrup slow-burn through psychedelic doom territory, weaving lysergic haze and crushing weight into a sound that pulls as much from the cosmic as the catastrophic. Formed in 2012, they sit at the murkier end of the doom spectrum where riffs dissolve into feedback and time loses its grip.
