Memoth is a stoner doom band from the Lippe region of Germany, featuring clean female vocals from Jenny Gölz layered over fuzz-heavy guitar work. Their 2020 demo "I'm the Night" delivers five tracks of crushing doom metal filtered through a stoner rock haze, available on limited cassette and CD.

Portland, Oregon's Menin have been sculpting stoner/doom metal since 2017 with the unhurried confidence of a band that understands what the genre demands: weight, patience, and a riff heavy enough to collapse under its own gravity. Portland's fertile underground has long welcomed the slow and heavy, and Menin fit naturally into that tradition — drawing from the psychedelic fog of stoner metal while anchoring everything in the bone-deep plod of doom. Their sound evokes the Pacific Northwest's overcast skies and towering forests, a particular kind of gloom that is neither aggressive nor resigned but simply immovable.
A stoner and doom metal act from London, Meridian Sun formed in 2023 with a sound built on massive, sun-baked riffs and hypnotic grooves. The band adds to the capital's robust doom and stoner metal contingent.
Heavy Southern / Stoner Metal from Dallas/Fort Worth.
