Out of Morgantown, West Virginia, Rott materialized in 2021 with a sound anchored in the slow churn of doom metal and the hazy, amplifier-driven heft of stoner rock. Their music reflects the isolation of the Mountain State — lumbering, smoke-filled, and built for maximum low-end saturation.

Los Angeles outfit Rowsdower, active since 2011, occupies the slow and swampy intersection of sludge, stoner, and doom metal — thick riffs, deliberate tempos, and the kind of hazy, heavy atmosphere that the LA underground has cultivated for decades. Their sound favors groove and weight over speed.
