Formed in Denver in 2024, Hash Bong deal in the kind of slow, hazy punishment that sits at the intersection of doom and stoner metal. Mile High lethargy runs through every riff, thick with fuzz and deliberate tempo.
Hashbreath is a sludge/stoner/doom metal band from Malmö, Sweden, active since 2013 and delivering crushing, fuzz-laden heaviness where doom's oppressive weight meets stoner metal's hazy grooves. The project channels low-end power and psychedelic atmosphere.
Hashishian traffic in a slow-moving collision of drone, doom, and stoner metal that feels less like a song and more like sinking. Formed in 2023, the project leans into immense, meditative weight, letting each tone hang in the air long past its welcome.

Conjured in 2023 in the Appalachian foothills of Franklin, North Carolina, HashWitch brews stoner metal with a distinctly earthy, ritualistic character. The mountain setting seeps into the tone — slow grooves with a pagan undertow.
Vancouver, Washington's Hauler load up on stoner and sludge metal, riding massive, distortion-soaked riffs at a pace that feels like a freight train operating at half speed — deliberate, heavy, and impossible to ignore.
Haunted Crucifix is a stoner/doom metal band from Volos, Greece, active since 2021 and delivering crushing, fuzz-laden heaviness where doom's oppressive weight meets stoner metal's hazy grooves. The project channels low-end power and psychedelic atmosphere.
Stoner metal band from Berlin, Germany, formed in 2020. Their thick, fuzzy riffs and groove-laden compositions deliver the hypnotic weight of stoner metal from the German capital.
