A brand-new entrant from Seattle's fertile heavy underground, Mycon formed in 2025 and pursues a doom/sludge hybrid rooted in oppressive low-end and glacially paced riffs befitting the gray, rain-soaked Pacific Northwest.
Mylène Sardoom is a sludge and doom metal band from Montpellier, France, formed in 2025. Their playful name belies crushing sludge-doom from the Languedoc region.
Washington State's Myopic defies easy categorization by drawing equally from sludge, black, death, and doom metal, blending these traditions into a dense, multi-layered extremity that has evolved steadily since the band's formation in 2011.
A stoner-sludge band from Liège, Belgium, drawing on the heaviness of Red Fang, Kyuss, and Mastodon. Their debut EP 'Midas Altar' (December 2023) presents eight tracks of dense, riff-driven stoner doom featuring a dual-vocal lineup and the band's characteristic blend of hallucinogenic weight and melodic grounding.
Oklahoma City's Mywitchmyblood drag black metal's icy menace through the swamp of sludge and doom, producing something slow, ugly, and corrosive since 2017. The three-genre collision gives the band a distinctly Southern gothic weight uncommon in the region's extreme metal scene.

A stoner-sludge band from Liège, Belgium, self-described as a 'stoner/sludge band from Liege' delivering heart-jolting doom riffs and dark melodic urgency. Their two EPs — 'EP #1' and 'Hate from the Bong (EP #2)' — establish a compact and dense sound within the Wallonian heavy underground.
