Rome's premier psychedelic stoner metal trio, active since 2005, channeling the fuzz-drenched swagger of 1970s hard rock through a cosmic, tripped-out lens. A staple of Desertfest and Europe's heavy underground, they have built a prolific catalog on Heavy Psych Sounds that recalls the best of Nebula and Fu Manchu.
Warsaw-based stoner metal outfit active since 2016, building their sound on thick, fuzz-drenched riffs and a laid-back, groove-heavy approach to heavy music. Their compositions channel the warmth of 1970s proto-metal through walls of modern distortion.
Finnish heavy/stoner/death metal band from Tampere, formed in 2014. They blend three metal styles into a royal, riff-heavy assault from Finland's industrial heartland.
German stoner/doom metal and rock band from Berlin, formed in 2016. They channel Eastern mysticism through heavy, fuzz-drenched stoner doom grooves.

Spanish stoner metal band from Ferrol in Galicia, formed in 2011. They breathe dragon-fire stoner metal from the Atlantic naval city of northwestern Spain.
Stoner doom act from Barcelos, formed in 2015. 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.
Stockholm-based stoner/doom outfit active since 2019, 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.
Komsomolsk-on-Amur-based stoner/doom outfit active since 2018, 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.
