Indianapolis's Doomcow have been plowing through the stoner metal pastures since 2015, delivering the fuzz-soaked, cannabis-drenched heaviness that the genre promises without apology.

In a city not typically associated with psychedelic heaviness, they carve out a distinctly hazy, bovine corner of the Midwest underground.

Doomflight is a doom, death, and stoner metal band from Barrow-in-Furness, Cumbria, formed in 2016. The band draw from the crushing weight of doom, the heaviness of death metal, and the hazy grooves of stoner metal in their independently released output.
Doomherre is a doom and stoner metal band from Stockholm, Sweden, formed in 2023. The project delivers crushing doom from the Swedish capital.

Doomsday Braves is a doom and stoner metal band from East Ayrshire, Scotland, formed in 2020 and self-described as "big, boozin' blues." Their four-track debut EP Big 'n' Heavy (2020) spans nearly thirty minutes of introspective, heavy stoner doom tackling everyday mental struggles.
