Winchester, Kentucky stoner metal project. The name suggests divination through elevated places — fitting for music from the Bluegrass highlands.
Across Tundras is a progressive psychedelic doom and stoner metal band that originated in Denver, Colorado before moving to Nashville, Tennessee. With thirteen releases spanning their career, the band has built an expansive catalog of sprawling, cinematic doom that evokes vast American landscapes through layers of heavy psychedelia.
Adhezja channels stoner and southern metal from Lublin since 2017. Their Polish name meaning 'adhesion' captures the sticky, swamp-thick quality of their Americana-influenced heaviness from eastern Poland.
Adlet is a southern and stoner metal band from Birmingham, Alabama. Across two releases, the band channels the heat and heaviness of the Deep South into their riff-driven stoner metal.
Maryland stoner metal outfit built around thick, fuzzed-out riffs and hypnotic grooves. Their debut EP Magic Elixir channels the low-end worship of Sleep and Electric Wizard through a distinctly East Coast lens.
Aganoor delivers stoner and doom metal from Rome as of 2025, bringing hazy riff worship to the ancient capital. Their name, shared with the Italian poet Vittoria Aganoor, hints at an artistic sensibility beneath the fuzzed-out heaviness.
Agatunet has traversed a remarkable stylistic journey from dark ambient through post-black metal to stoner rock and metal since forming in Rome in 2012. This genre-hopping restlessness speaks to a creative vision that refuses to be contained by any single style.
Aggadah is a stoner/doom metal band from Salt Lake City, Utah. Named after the non-legalistic portions of the Talmud, the band's 2021 EP "Confessions" delivers five tracks of heavy, riff-driven doom from an unlikely theological angle.
Agitat Solum creates sludge, stoner, and doom metal from Loures in the Lisbon district as of 2026. Their Latin name meaning 'shake the ground' captures the seismic heaviness of their freshly forged sound.
