Rotherham duo Spaztik Munkey churn out tar-thick sludge and stoner metal riffs that feel caked in Yorkshire grime. Active since 2015, their lo-fi approach adds a raw authenticity to their low-tuned heaviness.
Speaker Eater is an atmospheric sludge and doom metal band from Wausau, Wisconsin, formed in 2011, building massive, slow-burning compositions that blend post-hardcore dynamics with the crushing weight of sludge and the desolate sprawl of atmospheric doom.
Spellchucker is a doom/sludge metal band from Cleveland, Ohio, formed in 2018, delivering slow, oppressively heavy music that fuses traditional doom's despair with sludge metal's abrasive, feedback-drenched textures.
Spewdriver is a Kansas City sludge metal band formed in 2023, churning out oppressive, feedback-soaked riffs rooted in the down-tuned ugliness that defines the genre.
Spirit Guardian is a sludge metal band from Birmingham, Alabama, formed in 2019, drawing on the Southern heaviness and abrasive textures that characterize the region's robust sludge tradition.
Spirit Ruiner bring Belfast's trademark heaviness to doom and sludge metal, dealing in ponderous riffs and suffocating atmospheres since 2019. Their Northern Irish perspective adds a distinct bleakness to an already crushing sound.
Krasnodar's Spitter pair sludge and doom metal from the Kuban capital since 2021. Their expectoration-themed name channels the visceral force of ejection into compositions of thick, corrosive southern Russian heaviness.
Spliff Witch is a doom, stoner, and sludge metal band from Anderson, South Carolina, formed in 2021, delivering hazy, heavy-riffed music steeped in the psychedelic fatigue and swamp-weight of the Southern sludge tradition.
Belfast's Spliff Witchard have been dealing low-and-slow sludge and stoner riffs since 2012. Their name says it all: hazy, heavy, and unapologetically devoted to the riff as sacrament.
