Stoner and doom metal band from Kraków, Poland formed in 2023. Weedow delivers heavy, groove-laden stoner doom from the former royal capital of Poland.
Stoner doom metal trio from Berlin formed in 2013 when Basti and Philip met Igor at a Belzebong show. Their releases Into the Acid Swamp and Come on let's Druid! deliver heavy, psychedelic riffs rooted in stoner rock, doom, and sludge metal traditions.
Weedthrone was a stoner/doom metal project from São Paulo, Brazil, anchored by guitarist and bassist Nattens Man on Mars alongside vocalist Mellissa Rainbow and drummer Bitch Hunter. The project released the five-track album "Temple of Superdose" in January 2022, recorded the previous year, which included a cover of the 1973 track "What to Do" by Brazilian artist Vanusa. The band was celebrated in Brazilian underground stoner circles for its warmly distorted riff-heavy approach before splitting up.
Death, doom, and sludge metal band from Gliwice, Poland emerging in 2025. Weedvoid merges the heaviest extreme metal subgenres into a crushing triple-genre assault from the Upper Silesian industrial basin.
Stoner, sludge, and doom metal band from Bolzano, Italy emerging in 2024. Weedzing channels the heavy atmospheres of the South Tyrolean Alps into crushing stoner/doom from the Dolomite region.
Brooklyn's Weightlessness have been combining doom and death metal since 2014 in the dense, eclectic crucible that New York's underground provides. Their sound leans into the death-doom tradition's love of contrast — the crush of doom, the precision of death, the grief that lives between them — with a Brooklyn sourness that keeps it from ever becoming merely atmospheric. Slow, dark, and specific to the place that made them.
German doom metal band from Ulm whose demo and rehearsal recordings were originally released by Secret Port Records in Greece in 2002. Their nine-track collection The Awaken showcases epic and traditional doom metal with songs exploring themes of legions, oracles, and the void.
One-man doom metal project from Eisenach, Germany incorporating drone, black, and post-metal influences across a methodically numbered discography from Eins through Drei and beyond. The solo project channels diverse extreme metal influences through a doom metal lens, with recent albums including Nachwelt, Uebergang, and Licht.
Doom metal and shoegaze band from Clermont-Ferrand, France formed in 2023. Wempusa fuses the crushing weight of doom with shoegaze's ethereal textures from the volcanic landscape of the Auvergne.
