Austin instrumental psych/stoner rock trio performing improvised heavy jams since 1999.
Pennsylvania's Tim Black operates in the deep, narcotic end of doom and stoner metal, building slow-rolling heaviness from fuzz-drenched riffs and a deliberate, almost ritualistic pacing since 2017. The project taps the meditative quality that distinguishes the best stoner doom from mere plodding.
Timesprout from Barnsley deliver doom and stoner metal with the organic, growth-themed patience their botanical-temporal name suggests since 2022. Their South Yorkshire mining-town base adds working-class authenticity to their slowly unfurling compositions.
Titane is a stoner/doom metal band from Bari in Puglia, formed in 2023. Named after the French word for titanium, their music delivers dense, heavy stoner doom from the Adriatic coast.
Hudson, New York's Titanosaur are a stoner metal act formed in 2018, rooted in the slow-churning, fuzz-drenched riff traditions of the genre while drawing on the Hudson Valley's quieter, more pastoral surroundings as a counterpoint to their outsized heaviness.
Toilet Snake is a sludge/stoner metal band from Milan, formed in 2022. Their deliberately lowbrow name adds irreverent humor to the filthy sludge and stoner metal they deliver.
Wilmington, North Carolina's Toke have been delivering fuzz-drenched, smoke-soaked sludge and stoner metal since 2015 — the kind of slow, heavy music made for maximum volume and minimal sobriety, built from the coastal South's laid-back heaviness.
Tombgrinder is a stoner/doom metal band from London, active since 2014. Their music delivers crushing, slow-burning doom and heavy stoner riffs with the weight and finality their grave-grinding name suggests.
Baltimore's Tombtoker are one of the more eclectic acts in the city's thriving underground, folding stoner metal's hazy weight into a death-doom foundation since 2018 to produce something heavy enough to flatten walls and smoky enough to cloud vision.
