Haieeta is a stoner metal band from Maynooth, Ireland, active since 2007 and delivering fuzz-laden, groove-heavy riffs through a haze of overdriven amplification. The project channels the riff-worshipping spirit of the genre.
From the small town of Milford, Indiana, Hailshot traffic in the slow and heavy — stoner grooves layered over thick doom foundations. Their sound is the musical equivalent of a bar fight in slow motion.
San Diego's Hair of the Bear conjure the sun-baked, fuzz-soaked side of stoner doom — riffs that sprawl as wide as the Pacific and drag just as deep. Formed in 2018, they've built a hazy, heavy catalog that owes as much to desert rock as it does to doom.
Halahache is a stoner metal trio from Santiago, Chile who describe their sound as centered on fuzz, doom, and attitude. The band contributed a track to the 2021 compilation "Doomed & Stoned in Chile" and have released original material including their "Demo I" on Bandcamp.
Anchorage's Halfbreed mash stoner fuzz with thrash aggression — a combination that sounds like a remote Alaskan winter: isolating, harsh, and oddly beautiful. One of the more distinctive acts to emerge from Alaska's small but committed metal scene since 2021.
Atlanta's Halmos have been dragging riffs through the Georgia heat since 2012, fusing the molasses weight of sludge metal with the hazy warmth of stoner grooves. Their sound sits in the slow, crushing pocket where feedback meets sweat.
Psychedelic stoner/doom metal quartet from Freiberg, Germany, formed in 2017, delivering desert vibes and atmospheric riffs with heavy fuzz. Their albums Sfaira and Atmos channel the vast, hypnotic qualities of desert rock into immersive, riff-heavy stoner doom.
From Worcester in United Kingdom, this stoner rock/doom metal act brings relentless intensity to the regional scene since 2015. Monolithic compositions and oppressive atmospheres define their crushing sound.
New Jersey's Hand of Weed keep the doom and stoner metal flame lit with fuzzed-out riffs and a smoky, slow-motion heaviness that earns every minute of its runtime. Active since 2015.
