Jointhugger is a Norwegian heavy psychedelic doom rock band active since 2012, self-described as hashtronauts of the heavy playing cosmic, psychosonic doom rock straight from the fjords.

Athens, Georgia duo Jucifer are notorious for hauling one of the largest live speaker walls in underground metal and deploying it to devastating effect, channeling sludge, doom, drone, and punk into a wall-of-sound assault that defies easy categorization.

Southampton, Massachusetts outfit Judgement Day have been combining thrash metal's momentum with the slow, grinding weight of doom since 2002 — a long-running marriage of opposing tempos that gives their sound an unsettling push-pull dynamic.
