Espermaticidio is a stoner/doom power trio from Santiago, Chile, active since the 1990s with early recordings dating to 1993 and material written through 1998. The trio — Gonzalo Garcia on bass and vocals, David Véliz on guitar, and Rodrigo Villalobos on drums — blends Sabbathian proto-doom with heavy psych and fuzz rock, singing in both Spanish and English. Their 2025 album Kalkutun, released through their own Bandcamp, is considered their strongest output to date.
Estonian act from Tallinn that evolved from stoner rock into a heavier blend of stoner, sludge, and doom metal since 2012. Their punning name merges "Estonia" with "stoner," reflecting their national identity within the global stoner/doom scene.
Doom and stoner metal band from Mieres in Asturias, Spain, active since 2012. Their Vol. II features dense, corrosive riffs reminiscent of Neon Knights-era Black Sabbath, recorded across multiple Asturian studios.
Stoner metal/rock act from Bremen in northern Germany, delivering heavy, fuzz-laden compositions since 2014. Their approach channels the warm, amplifier-worshipping groove of stoner rock with added metal heaviness.
Brooklyn's Eternal Black smoke out with skull-crushing riffs anchored in the doom and stoner traditions, their sound carrying the weight of New York City asphalt and late nights. Since 2015 they have been a fixture of the borough's heavy underground.
Psychedelic stoner and progressive doom metal act from Bretten in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, crafting expansive, mind-bending compositions since 2017. Their approach fuses the hazy psychedelia of stoner metal with the structural ambition of progressive doom.
New Jersey's Eternal Fuzz have been dialing up mammoth stoner doom and post-metal walls of fuzz since 2009, their sound as thick and unhurried as a summer afternoon that refuses to end. Cranbury Township has produced one of the Garden State's most reliably heavy acts.
The Swedish city of Stockholm serves as headquarters for this heavy metal and stoner metal operation, whose arsenal includes amp-worshipping heaviness filtered through a THC-infused consciousness. Their approach balances aggression with genuine musical substance.
Part of Ukraine's fierce and unyielding metal community, this act channels doom metal and stoner metal with a focus on fuzz-drenched riffs and hypnotic, groove-laden repetition. Formed in 2011, based in Kyiv, the results are heavier and more inventive than the genre tag might suggest.
