Greasus is a stoner/sludge metal band from Helsingborg, Sweden, active since 2017 and delivering heavy, fuzz-laden riffs from the Øresund coast. The project channels crushing sludge through a stoner haze.
Virginia's Green deal in the heavy, murky end of sludge metal — slow tempos, distortion thick enough to choke on, and an unshakeable sense of dread. Since 2019, they've been letting the weight accumulate rather than trying to outrun it.
Green Asylum is a stoner/doom metal band from Pulawy in the Lublin Voivodeship, formed in 2014. They deliver heavy stoner doom from the Vistula River city in eastern Poland.
Green Cachalot is a stoner metal band from Volzhsky, Russia, active since 2014 and delivering fuzz-laden, groove-heavy riffs from the Volga region. The project's cetacean-themed name reflects its massive, deep-diving approach to heaviness.
From Elmore, Vermont, Green Chapel bring a pastoral, earthy quality to stoner metal — fuzz-heavy and slow-burning, with an atmosphere that calls to mind ancient woods rather than desert highways. Formed in 2016, they make heavy music with a distinctly northeastern character.
Green Dragon is a sludge/stoner/doom metal band from Torun, active since 2013. They deliver massive, fuzz-drenched stoner doom from the medieval Vistula city.
Formed in Denver, Colorado in 2014, Green Druid play a psychedelic strain of stoner doom that leans into Lovecraftian atmosphere and isolationist weight rather than simple Sabbath worship. Their 2018 debut Ashen Blood on Earache Records established the band's slow-burning, riff-heavy approach, followed by At the Maw of Ruin in 2020, which expanded the sonic palette while preserving the fundamental density. The band approaches the genre with enough self-awareness to actively push beyond its conventions.
Green Giant is a stoner/doom metal band from Krakow, active since 2008. They deliver riff-heavy stoner doom from Poland's cultural capital.
Brooklyn's Green Hog Band blend psychedelic rock, stoner riffing, and doom-paced heaviness into something loose-limbed and groove-driven. Since 2020 they've been staking out the cosmic, smoke-hazed intersection of those worlds in New York City's underground.
