Manali is a cosmic doom band from Kolding, Denmark, featuring guitar, drums, bass, and synth/vocals. Their catalog consists of rehearsal tape volumes that capture the raw, unpolished essence of their spacey, heavy sound, emphasizing live-session intensity over studio polish.
Philadelphia's Manalishi bring a classic heavy metal backbone into the stoner realm, drawing on the city's hard-rock legacy while keeping the riffs warm and hazy. Still fresh as of 2025, the band hints at a sound rooted in tradition but pointed forward.
Featuring vocalist Cris Maffra alongside guitarists Felipe Knoller and Ricardo Siqueira, Mandibulla occupied a corner of the stoner-doom spectrum enriched by classical strings and piano, setting their approach apart from the rawer side of the genre. Their 2018 debut 'Bleeding Black,' released through Solitude Productions and mastered by Jack Endino, drew praise for its sludgy riff weight and unusually refined production.
Mandrake — also known as Heráldica de Mandrake — is a stoner doom trio from La Serena, Chile who began releasing music in 2014 before adopting their extended name in 2017. Their 2019 EP Esto también pasará, released through Doomed and Stoned Records, draws on dissonant, heavily distorted doom paired with occult and anti-authoritarian lyrical themes, with artwork by guitarist and vocalist Francisco Rivera.
Heavy psych-doom from San Antonio.
Mang Ont is a stoner, sludge, and doom metal band from Tartu, Estonia, formed in 2012, blending heavy, slow riffs with psychedelic drone and noise. Their Estonian-language releases including Külmavärinad and Sügavkülmunud tuum channel crushing sonic weight through modular synth, bass, and guitar.
Mangrove is a stoner metal and rock act from Stockholm, active since 2019. The band channels the tangled, organic imagery of their name into dense, root-heavy grooves.
Maniard is a stoner and doom metal act from Bordeaux, channeling the city's famed hedonistic culture into heavy, fuzz-laden grooves since 2013. The band layers languid, smoke-wreathed riffs over pounding rhythms in the tradition of classic stoner doom.
Mano de Piedra is a heavy band from Vigo, Spain, formed in late 2016 by members of Galician groups Supa Scoopa, Sem Resposta, N.O.T., and Carcomedhi. Their sound fuses stoner, hardcore, crust, and hard rock into releases including 'Tales From The Burnt House,' 'Today's Ashes,' and a self-titled album.
