Drain Loose is a stoner and doom metal band from Patras, Greece, formed in 2019. The band craft heavy, low-tuned stoner doom rooted in the fuzz-drenched traditions of the genre.
Founded in Putney, Vermont in 2023, Draiodoir (the Irish word for druid or sorcerer) bring a pagan sensibility to their blend of stoner and doom metal, rooting their slow, fuzz-heavy sound in something earthy and ritualistic rather than purely nihilistic. Vermont's deep rural character and Celtic heritage seem to genuinely inform the project, giving the music a quality that feels less like genre exercise and more like incantation.
Draken is a stoner metal band from Oslo, Norway, formed in 2013. The project delivers heavy, fuzzed-out stoner metal riffs from the Norwegian capital.
Drawbridgeman is a stoner and doom metal band from Barnet, London, formed in 2011 by ex-members of Aorta. Their 2011 self-titled debut, recorded at The Lodge in Northampton, plays stoner doom reminiscent of 1970s and 1980s heaviness with a modern twist across six tracks including the nearly ten-minute closer Gargantuan.
Drawers is a sludge/stoner metal band from Toulouse, France, active since 2011. They deliver heavy, fuzzy sludge from the pink city.
Dreadbeggar is a stoner and sludge metal two-piece from Hertfordshire, England, formed in 2018. Their releases include the Torment Addiction demo, Sludgefuck Blues, 9mm Painkiller, and Shibari Sigils, all channeling heavy, low-tuned stoner sludge from a stripped-down duo format.
Dreadstar is a stoner metal band from Dzhankoi, Ukraine, formed in 2025. The project delivers heavy stoner metal.
Drioma is a stoner metal/rock band from Kumanovo in North Macedonia, channeling the genre's trademark fuzz-drenched riffs and laid-back grooves through a Balkan sensibility. Their name — derived from a Greek word related to drowsiness — captures the hypnotic, trance-inducing quality of their heavy, psychedelic sound.
Driptorch is a stoner/groove metal band from Nuremberg, Germany, formed in 2015. They ignite with fuzz-drenched stoner grooves and heavy riffs.
