SpaceMetal is a stoner metal band from New Orleans, Louisiana, formed in 2015. Emerging from a city with one of America's richest heavy music traditions, they channel the amplified, riff-driven weight of stoner metal with the slow, humid groove endemic to the Crescent City's underground.
Spacetrucker is a grunge-inflected stoner metal band from St. Louis, Missouri, formed in 2016. They blend the fuzz and heavy low-end of stoner metal with the loose, blue-collar swagger of grunge, fitting well within the Midwest's tradition of unpretentious heavy rock.
