Mathusalem is a band from Paris, France, formed in 2022, having evolved from stoner and doom metal into synthwave. Their stylistic transformation reflects an adventurous creative spirit unbound by genre conventions.
Matote is a stoner, doom, and post-metal band from Badalona, Spain, formed in 2018. They merge stoner metal's fuzzy heaviness with doom's crushing weight and post-metal's atmospheric dynamics.
Maya Mountains is a psychedelic rock band from Venice, Italy, formed in 2004. Their debut 'Hash and Pornography' (2008) was released through Go Down Records, followed by 'Era' (2015), produced by Alessandro Siniscalchi — both albums rooted in extended jams, heavy riffs, and psychedelic vision.
Mazout is a stoner and doom metal band from Givry, France, formed in 2020. Their name meaning "fuel oil" captures the grimy, heavy nature of their stoner doom.
Megalith Levitation is a stoner/doom metal act from the Ural city of Chelyabinsk, active since 2019. The band channels the ancient, monolithic energy of their name into heavy, psychedelic doom from the gateway to Siberia.
A stoner metal and rock act from Naples, Megaride takes its name from the ancient island that forms the foundation of Castel dell'Ovo. Active since 2018, the band channels the Mediterranean city's layered history into heavy, groove-laden compositions.
Megatherium is a psychedelic stoner/doom metal act from Verona, named after the prehistoric giant ground sloth since 2015. The band delivers appropriately massive, slow-moving compositions drenched in psychedelic haze.
Omaha's Megaton have been lobbing stoner metal warheads since 2020, anchoring their sound in the same fuzz-drenched, slow-burn groove that defines the genre's most compelling work. Their Bandcamp handle — megatonsword — telegraphs the intent: heavy as a blunt object, delivered with ceremonial weight.
Megatron is a stoner rock and metal act from Manchester, delivering fuzz-laden grooves since 2018. Not to be confused with any Transformers villain, the band channels the loose, heavy energy of classic stoner rock through Manchester's legendary music scene.
