Devastating Deathcore from San Antonio.
Erasy is a sludge/stoner/doom metal band from Feira de Santana, Bahia, Brazil, drawing inspiration from Black Sabbath and the slow, heavy end of the metal spectrum. The band has released three studio albums — The Valley of Dying Stars (2016), Under the Moonlight (2018), and Some Nice Flowers (2020) — through Dopesmoke Heavy Music Productions, and has performed at regional festivals including the Dopesmoke Festival.
Seattle's Eroder leans into the Pacific Northwest's affinity for heavy, hazy sounds, channeling stoner metal's fuzz-drenched patience into slowly combusting songs that reward the listener willing to sink into them. The band treats volume and repetition as tools for inducing a near-meditative state.
Stoner metal band from Helsinki, Finland established in 2002, self-described as Helsinki beercore. Their catalog includes Demon MMIV and subsequent releases of riff-heavy, irreverent stoner metal.
Trading in pure metallic intensity, this doom metal and stoner metal act from Hertfordshire traffics in fuzz-drenched riffs and hypnotic, groove-laden repetition. Since 2023, they've built a catalog that reflects the UK's ever-evolving heavy music tradition.
Deal, United Kingdom — doom metal and stoner metal of the most uncompromising kind. Active since 2024, they deal in desert-baked tonality and psychedelic haze over lumbering rhythms. Their catalog reveals a band unafraid to explore the darker corners of heavy music.
Psychedelic doom/stoner metal act from Berlin, Germany, whose name means "donkey" in German, active since 2020. Their tongue-in-cheek name contrasts with the heavy, haze-filled psychedelia of their doom-laden compositions.
Espermaticidio is a stoner/doom power trio from Santiago, Chile, active since the 1990s with early recordings dating to 1993 and material written through 1998. The trio — Gonzalo Garcia on bass and vocals, David Véliz on guitar, and Rodrigo Villalobos on drums — blends Sabbathian proto-doom with heavy psych and fuzz rock, singing in both Spanish and English. Their 2025 album Kalkutun, released through their own Bandcamp, is considered their strongest output to date.
Estonian act from Tallinn that evolved from stoner rock into a heavier blend of stoner, sludge, and doom metal since 2012. Their punning name merges "Estonia" with "stoner," reflecting their national identity within the global stoner/doom scene.
