Boston's Rozamov, formed in 2015, blend the psychedelic haze of stoner metal with the slow, oppressive roll of doom, building long-form songs that burn low and heavy without sacrificing atmosphere for riff worship. They are a reliable fixture in the northeastern heavy underground.
Treviso stoner metal and rock outfit formed in 2014, delivering fuzz-drenched grooves from the Veneto region. Their heavy, laid-back approach channels the warm resonance of the stoner tradition.
New Jersey's Ruins have been grinding out heavy, fuzz-saturated stoner metal since 2001, drawing on the genre's psychedelic and blues-soaked roots with a sound built for low-end punishment.
Out of Great Falls, Montana, Runecaller traffic in slow-burning stoner doom, fusing the fuzz-heavy haze of stoner rock with the lumbering dread of doom metal in one of the state's more isolated metal scenes since 2022.
Stoner metal and rock act from the Abruzzo village of Raiano, active since 2019 and delivering fuzz-laden grooves from central Italy's rugged mountain landscape. Their earthy sound channels the laid-back weight of the stoner tradition.
Death 'n' roll/stoner metal band from Toruń, Poland, active since 2018. Their approach blends death metal's heaviness with rock 'n' roll swagger and stoner grooves from the medieval copernican city.
San Antonio's Rusty Nails thread stoner metal's hazy riff worship with grunge grit, drawing on both genres' working-class rawness to produce a sound that feels lived-in and deliberately unglamorous since 2017.
Vienna psychedelic doom/stoner quartet formed in 2016 and signed to Heavy Psych Sounds Records, Ryte build their mostly instrumental sound from down-tuned twin guitars, jazzy drumming, distorted bass, and theremin landscapes across four extended tracks. Blending doom, prog, jazz, and space rock, they have performed at festivals like Lake on Fire and shared stages with Sacri Monti and Golden Void.
RZMNR is a three-piece stoner/doom metal instrumental band from Antwerp, Belgium, formed in 2016. Their self-titled debut album — five heavy, sludge-laden jams each named for one of Tolkien's five Istari wizards written in Middle-Earth languages — was praised for its cohesive flow and riff-driven craftsmanship.
