Taser is a progressive stoner metal band from Madrid, Spain, formed in 2018. They blend progressive structures with stoner metal's heavy grooves.
Tectonic Shifts is a stoner/doom metal band from Helsinki, Finland, formed in 2022. They deliver seismic, earth-shaking stoner doom.
Teleost is a stoner/drone/doom metal band from York, formed in 2022. Named after the largest group of bony fishes, their music plumbs the depths of low-end heaviness through droning, glacially-paced doom with stoner metal's fuzz-laden warmth.
Tellemahookah is a stoner metal band from England, formed in 2024. Their music delivers fuzz-drenched, riff-heavy stoner metal with the laid-back heaviness and groove that define the genre.
Temple of Dust from Monza craft psychedelic doom and stoner metal that worships at the altar of decomposition since 2014. A decade of crumbling compositions from the Lombardy city of the famous Grand Prix circuit.
Liège heavy doom outfit Temple of Nothing describe their sound simply as 'Down-tempo. Heavy. Doom. Rock.' and have been applying that creed since their 2010 debut EP Lazarus. Their 2013 full-length Psalms of Solitary Self-Indulgence expanded on that foundation, earning the band a following within the European doom and sludge underground.
Detroit's Temple of the Fuzz Witch formed in 2017 in the shadow of a city that has been making heavy, slow music for decades, and their stoner/doom approach carries that industrial weight in every note. Electric fuzz saturates their sound from root to stem — lumbering riffs, warm distortion, and the hypnotic pull of a groove that moves like machinery.
Temples is a sludge/stoner/doom metal band from Helsinki, Finland, formed in 2013. They combine sludge, stoner, and doom into a crushing wall of heaviness.
Milwaukee's Test-Site have been running their progressive stoner/sludge experiment since 2004, long enough to have become a genuine institution in the Midwest underground — a band that has refined its sound through years of playing in a city that respects musical seriousness. They fuse the mind-expanding drift of stoner metal with sludge's weight and progressive rock's structural ambition, creating something hypnotic and heavy in equal parts.
