Declan Beare is a doom, stoner, sludge metal, and ambient artist from Dublin, Ireland, active since 2018. The project spans a range of heavy and atmospheric styles from doom and sludge to ambient soundscapes.
Aurora's Decline of Sanity blend the slow, suffocating weight of stoner metal with death metal's guttural fury — a hazy, punishing combination that arrived in 2024 from Colorado's high-altitude underground. Equal parts skull-crush and slow burn.
Deep Space Mask is a stoner metal band from Roanne, France, formed in 2020. They deliver cosmic stoner grooves from the Loire region.
Deepshow is a stoner metal/rock band from Mons in Wallonia, active since 2011 and delivering fuzz-heavy, groove-laden compositions rooted in the Desert Sessions school of heavy psych. Their sound channels the swagger and swagger of classic stoner rock through a Belgian lens.
Chicago stoner/doom outfit Deepspacepilots have been navigating fuzz-heavy, gravity-warped heaviness since 2006, equal parts Midwest grit and cosmic drift.
Denver's Deer Creek have been pulling from the mile-high city's well of sludge, doom, and stoner heaviness since 2006, crafting records that move slow and hit hard.
Out of Aberdeen, South Dakota, Deer Skull blend stoner swagger and traditional heavy metal into something that carries the wide-open isolation of the Great Plains in every riff.
Deerslayer is a doom and stoner metal band from Arjang, Sweden, formed in 2014. The project delivers heavy doom and stoner riffs from the Varmland region.
Deformus plays a hybrid of heavy, stoner, and sludge metal from 's-Hertogenbosch in North Brabant, active since 2017. Their genre-blending approach creates deformed, misshapen compositions that refuse to fit neatly into any single category — as their name implies.
