Dopehaze plays sludge/stoner metal from Moscow, active since 2016 and wrapping their heavy compositions in a pharmacological fog. Their intoxication-themed name captures the mind-altering, consciousness-blurring quality of their fuzz-heavy sound.
Dopelord is a doom and stoner metal band from Lublin, Poland, formed in 2012. The project channels heavy, ritualistic doom and stoner riffs with a psychedelic edge.
Dopemancer plays stoner/doom metal from Barcelona, formed in 2023 and conjuring hazy, riff-driven rituals steeped in the genre's psychedelic tradition. Their sorcerer-of-intoxication name captures the hypnotic, mind-altering quality of their fuzz-drenched compositions.
Dopeotter is a doom and stoner metal band from Ivano-Frankivsk, Ukraine, formed in 2021. The project delivers heavy doom and stoner riffs from the Carpathian foothills.
Out of Trenton, New Jersey since 2015, DopeRider rolls out a heavy, fuzz-drenched stoner doom that owes as much to Black Sabbath as to the sludgier side of the Sleep catalog. The industrial decay of Trenton seems to seep into their sound, which hits with the grim persistence of a city that's been through the wringer and keeps crawling forward. Their riffs are slow, massive things — the kind that seem to push actual air when they drop.
Doperman is a heavy/stoner metal band from Helsinki, Finland, active since 2013. They deliver dopey, heavy stoner and metal grooves from the Finnish capital.
