Kent, Ohio's Witchhelm have been hauling heavy doom and stoner riffs since 2014, working in the warm, fuzz-drenched tradition that owes as much to Black Sabbath as to the later stoner metal wave. Kent and the surrounding Northeast Ohio area have a quiet but real heavy music tradition, and Witchhelm are among its most committed representatives. Their sound is patient and immersive — music built for volume.

French doom band from Toulouse formed in 2011 with an extensive catalog spanning six releases including Swallow The Venom, Sang-Dragon, and Trove of Oddities at the Devil's Driveway. Their doom metal channels serpentine heaviness and occult darkness through crushing riffs and ominous atmospheres.
Bay Shore, New York's Witchtripper have been plying their trade in stoner doom since 2016, bringing Long Island into a genre conversation usually dominated by the American South and West. Their sound is rooted in heavy psychedelic grooves and slow-burn riff cycles that reward cranking the volume in a dark room. They are a consistent presence in the New York-area underground heavy music world.
