Stoner/doom metal band from Galicia, Spain, formed in 2025. Their heavy, fuzz-drenched sound channels the mystic, Celtic-tinged landscapes of northwestern Spain.
Stoner/doom metal project from Dresden, Germany, formed in 2020. Their ritualistic sound merges the heavy psychedelia of stoner metal with the crushing weight of doom from the Saxon capital.
Highwalker is a doom/stoner metal/rock band from Oulu, Finland, active since 2022 and delivering crushing, fuzz-laden heaviness where doom's oppressive weight meets stoner metal's hazy grooves. The project channels low-end power and psychedelic atmosphere.
The name alone announces Eugene, Oregon's Hippie Death Cult as a band with a sense of humor about the stoner doom genre they clearly love. Since 2019 they've delivered fuzz-caked, psychedelic doom that is simultaneously self-aware and genuinely heavy.
Doom/sludge metal trio from Charleroi, Belgium, formed in 2017, whose lyrics are drawn from the singer's real-life encounters as a social worker. Albums including Twisted Mind, Alföldy's Theory, and Isomorphism channel grim stories of maltreatment into crushing, socially conscious doom-sludge.
New Hampshire's Hobo Wizard conjure doom and stoner metal with the kind of grim, scrappy personality their name implies — heavy, slow, and unconcerned with refinement. The project, active since 2022, sounds like it was assembled from salvaged parts and is better for it.
Hogslayer is a sludge/stoner metal band from Cwmbrân, United Kingdom, active since 2012 and delivering fuzz-laden, groove-heavy riffs through a haze of overdriven amplification. The project channels the riff-worshipping spirit of the genre.
Stoner/Sludge Metal outfit rooted in Martinsicuro (Teramo), channeling menacing underground intensity since 2020. Their sound delivers the intensity their genre demands with focused execution.
Stoner/doom/heavy metal band from Aalborg, Denmark, formed in 2018. Their heavy, fuzz-laden sound blends the weight of doom with stoner grooves and classic heavy metal from northern Jutland.
