Montana's Dead Sorcery arrived in 2024 with sludge and stoner doom built for remote, mountainous terrain — riff-heavy, occult-tinged, and slow enough to let every note sink in. A promising new entry in the Pacific Northwest-adjacent heavy underground.
Dead Titan is a stoner/doom metal band from Helsinki, Finland, formed in 2022. They channel titanic heaviness through stoner and doom metal.

Denver's DeadVessel navigate the intersection of stoner, groove, and progressive metal with the high-altitude confidence of a band comfortable pushing ideas in multiple directions at once. Formed in 2015, they blend head-nodding heaviness with genuine structural ambition.
Kingsport, Tennessee's Deafened occupy a gloomy corner where depressive black metal, stoner doom, and ambient drift converge — music that sounds like the Appalachian hills turning dark around you. Since 2022, the project has leaned hard into desolation.
Newton, New Jersey's Death Catapult sling slow-burning stoner doom at the audience like boulders through fog, trading speed for weight and atmosphere. Formed in 2025, they draw from the heaviest end of fuzz-soaked doom and psychedelic rock.
