An Austin, Texas band active since 2015, Thunderkief sink deep into the psychedelic fog where stoner and doom metal overlap, building slow-burning songs that unfold under layers of distortion and haze. They're a product of Austin's fertile heavy underground, carrying the city's tradition of loud, unhurried music played with real conviction.
One of Wilmington, North Carolina's longer-running heavy acts, Thunderlip have been at it since 2005, pairing stoner rock's fuzz and groove with the more structured punch of traditional heavy metal. Their longevity in a coastal Carolina scene not known for the genre speaks to the band's stubborn commitment to loud, hook-driven rock.
Out of Westchester County, New York since 2017, Thunderon blend the hazy low end of stoner metal with the atmospheric reach of post-metal, crafting music that drifts between weighted groove and more expansive, effects-laden territory. Their suburban New York origin gives them a certain restless edge that keeps the music from settling too comfortably into either genre.
Thunderwitch from Berlin conjure stoner metal with occult feminine power, blending fuzz-drenched riffs with witchcraft-themed atmospherics from the German capital. Their sound channels the ritualistic energy of doom-adjacent stoner metal through a distinctly mystical lens.
Austin instrumental psych/stoner rock trio performing improvised heavy jams since 1999.
Pennsylvania's Tim Black operates in the deep, narcotic end of doom and stoner metal, building slow-rolling heaviness from fuzz-drenched riffs and a deliberate, almost ritualistic pacing since 2017. The project taps the meditative quality that distinguishes the best stoner doom from mere plodding.
Timesprout from Barnsley deliver doom and stoner metal with the organic, growth-themed patience their botanical-temporal name suggests since 2022. Their South Yorkshire mining-town base adds working-class authenticity to their slowly unfurling compositions.
Titane is a stoner/doom metal band from Bari in Puglia, formed in 2023. Named after the French word for titanium, their music delivers dense, heavy stoner doom from the Adriatic coast.
Hudson, New York's Titanosaur are a stoner metal act formed in 2018, rooted in the slow-churning, fuzz-drenched riff traditions of the genre while drawing on the Hudson Valley's quieter, more pastoral surroundings as a counterpoint to their outsized heaviness.
