When Eartheater emerged in 2015 from Ånge, they brought with them a sound rooted in doom metal and stoner metal — all desert-baked tonality and psychedelic haze over lumbering rhythms. The combination of influences yields something more interesting than any single genre label implies.
Doom and stoner metal band from West Yorkshire, England active since 2016. They channel heavy, ritualistic doom from the Yorkshire hills.
Boston's Earthlore moves through psychedelic heavy metal, stoner, and doom with the measured confidence of a band that knows the territory — formed in 2019 and building something warmer and more textured than pure doom alone.
Doom and stoner metal band from Essex, England active since 2016. They deliver crushing, fuzzy doom from the English home counties.
Scranton, Pennsylvania's Earthmouth has been working the stoner/doom crossover since 2013, a working-class rust-belt city providing appropriately gritty context for music built from slow, heavy repetition.
Doom, drone, and stoner metal project from the UK, active since 2015. They explore the heaviest depths of slow, massive metal.
Formed in 2023 in the small town of Colfax, Washington, Earthworks deals in the kind of stoner doom that feels carved from rural isolation — slow, hazy, and built to outlast the weekend.
Black metal, doom, and stoner metal band from Glasgow, Scotland active since 2013. They deliver a hazy blend of blackened doom and stoner heaviness from Scotland's largest city.
The name says it all and nothing at once: Ventura, California's Easy Death makes stoner doom that's anything but painless, trading in heavy psych riffs and the kind of lumbering grooves that make time feel elastic.
