Salisbury, Maryland's Dirt Woman have been cultivating their stoner/doom sound since 2017, drawing from the flat coastal plain of the Eastern Shore to produce music that feels thick, hazy, and unhurried. Their sound has the slow gravitational pull of something that grows out of quiet places that have had time to think.

Los Angeles's Divola have been bending stoner metal through an experimental prism since 2013, producing music that swaps the subgenre's usual comfort-food riff cycles for something stranger and more unpredictable. Operating in the LA underground, they bring a psychedelic restlessness to heavy music that resists the familiar and keeps the listener off-balance.
Seattle's DIYU — named for the Chinese realm of the dead — have been channeling the Pacific Northwest's damp, oppressive atmosphere into doom and stoner metal since 2019. Their sound is slow and heavy in the way Seattle seems built to produce, smoke-filled and gravitational, pulling the listener into the kind of narcotic heaviness the city's underground has specialized in for decades.
