Stoner doom act from Forlì (Forlì-Cesena), formed in 2025. Their music moves at a glacial pace through layers of fuzz and psychedelic textures, inviting the listener into a trance-like state of heavy meditation.
Sofia-based project founded in 2008 by Hristo Penev, evolving from folk/black metal roots into what they term "Vintage Dark Rock" with melancholic, oriental, and jazzy influences. Their 2013 album "Dustbowl" showcased a natural, acoustic-leaning vintage rock sound before the band disbanded in 2014.
Spanish stoner/doom metal band from Almería, formed in 2017. They craft sun-baked stoner-doom from the arid Mediterranean coast of southeastern Spain.
Progressive metal outfit from Acquaviva delle Fonti (Bari), formed in 2014. Their work incorporates odd time signatures, extended instrumental passages, and dynamic contrasts that elevate their sound beyond standard metal fare.
Warsaw-based stoner/sludge metal outfit active since 2017, laying down thick, fuzz-caked riffs that move at a lumbering, hypnotic pace. Their sound occupies the hazy intersection where stoner metal's psychedelic warmth meets sludge's abrasive hostility.
Oslo-based stoner/doom outfit active since 2013, conjuring thick clouds of fuzz-laden riffage and hypnotic, groove-driven compositions. Their sound channels the haze of 1970s proto-metal through a modern lens of distortion-worship and lysergic exploration.
