Antro were a heavy and stoner metal band from Teresópolis, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, active from 2014 until their split-up. Rooted in the fuzzed-out, riff-driven tradition of stoner and heavy metal, the band was part of a small but vibrant underground scene in the mountainous Serrana region of Rio de Janeiro state. They operated independently and released music through Bandcamp.
Green Bay groove metal project from the Wisconsin underground.
Louisville, Kentucky stoner metal project whose 2020 single Grasjonski hints at the eclectic influences lurking beneath the fuzz. A contribution to Louisville's rich tradition of heavy, experimental music that produced Slint and My Morning Jacket.
Apodemus crafts stoner metal and rock from Nizhny Novgorod since 2017. Named after the genus of field mice, their humble rodent identity contrasts with the fuzzed-out heaviness they deliver from the Volga-Oka city.

Portland stoner metal project from the Maine underground.
Grants Pass, Oregon death metal project whose 2019 self-titled EP delivers extremity from southern Oregon's Rogue Valley. Named after wingless insects, their music stays grounded in earthbound heaviness.
