Norrsken is a doom/stoner metal band from Örebro, Sweden, formed in 2024. Named after the Swedish word for 'northern lights,' the band delivers heavy, slow-burning metal from central Sweden.
Minneapolis trio Northern Hammer emerged in 2020 at the intersection of sludge, stoner, and doom metal — genres that align naturally with Minnesota's long, brutal winters. Their music carries the slow-motion heaviness of the doom tradition filtered through the fuzz-soaked, narcotic quality of stoner metal and the mean, antagonistic edge of sludge. It's a fitting sound for a city that knows cold and knows how to make something heavy out of it.
Northern Revival is a stoner metal band from Novi Sad, Serbia, active since 2010. Over fifteen years, they have built a solid presence in the Vojvodina heavy music scene.
Noscrape is a sludge/stoner metal band from Bergamo, Italy, active since 2006. Nearly two decades of activity have cemented their place in Lombardy's heavy underground.
A very recent formation out of New England, November Fire arrived in 2024 playing psychedelic doom and stoner metal that carries the languid, fuzz-drenched weight of the region's long winters. Their Bandcamp presence signals a band already thinking beyond the riff, incorporating psychedelic drift into a doom framework that emphasizes mood and slow-burning intensity over speed.
