Astronautist crafts stoner and doom metal from Bergen since 2023. Their space-exploration name drives compositions of weightless, fuzz-laden heaviness from Norway's western fjord city.
Astroqueen has crafted doom and stoner metal from Stenungsund on Sweden's Bohus coast since 1999. Over a quarter century from this petrochemical-industry town, they have built one of Sweden's longest-running stoner doom legacies.
Astrosail crafts stoner, doom metal, and rock from Moscow since 2016. Their interstellar-navigation name drives hazy, riff-heavy compositions that journey through psychedelic space from the Russian capital.
Philadelphia stoner metal act channeling cosmic visions through thick, fuzzy riffs, contributing to Philly's eclectic heavy music scene with space-drenched heaviness.
Twentynine Palms stoner metal band from the high desert outside Joshua Tree, their sun-scorched, psychedelic doom perfectly mirroring the alien landscape of California's Mojave.
Athabas channels doom and stoner metal from the Bourgogne-Franche-Comté region since 2016, their name evoking the indigenous peoples of subarctic North America. Their heavy, psychedelic approach draws from the region's wine country traditions of patience and fermentation.
Atlantic Tide crafts stoner and doom metal from Stockholm since 2012. Their oceanic name drives over a decade of wave-like heaviness from the Swedish capital, far from the Atlantic itself.
London's Atomic Fog generate a dense cloud of doom, sludge, and stoner metal, layering fuzz-soaked riffs over lumbering rhythms that evoke a radioactive wasteland. Since 2018, they've been crafting apocalyptic heaviness with a nod to Electric Wizard and Eyehategod.
Atomic Mold creates psychedelic stoner metal and rock from Verona since 2015. Their nuclear-fungal name captures the mutant quality of their sound — a lysergic, heavily distorted fusion born in the city of the Arena.
