Raleigh's Drench blend the slow, suffocating weight of doom metal with the gritty fuzz of grunge, arriving somewhere between heavy rock and traditional doom that feels rooted in both the '90s underground and the Southern soil underfoot. Founded in 2016, they bring a muddy, down-tempo heaviness that owes as much to Sub Pop as it does to Saint Vitus.
Chesapeake, Virginia's Drenched play heavy metal in the classic mold — formed in 2017, they carry forward the tradition of no-frills riff-driven metal without pretense or genre-hopping. Their straightforward approach to the form is a reminder that sometimes the most direct route through heavy music is the most satisfying.
