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.
A death/black metal band from Klagenfurt am Wörthersee, Carinthia, Austria, formed in 2004 and now split up. Their lyrical themes included Satanism, hate, and murder, placing them in the raw extreme metal underground of Carinthia.
Dopesmoke is a doom and stoner metal band from Novo Mesto, Slovenia, formed in 2014. The project delivers heavy doom and stoner riffs from the Dolenjska region.
Dopethrone are a Montreal sludge metal band whose sound is filthy, slow-burning, and deliberately abrasive. Formed in 2008, the group developed a DIY identity rooted in stoner doom, sludge, and a grimy sense of humor, with albums such as Demonsmoke, Dark Foil, III, Hochelaga, Transcanadian Anger, and Broke Sabbath building a devoted following among listeners who like their heavy music raw rather than polished. Dopethrone fit metal scope directly through down-tuned riffs, crawling tempos, blown-out bass, harsh vocals, and the oppressive atmosphere of doom and sludge. Their songs often feel less like compositions arranged for radio than like fumes rising from a basement amplifier, but the band has a strong instinct for groove under the grime. The Montreal setting, especially the Hochelaga reference point, gives the music a local character: dirty, stubborn, and proudly outside clean mainstream rock manners. Dopethrone's appeal lies in commitment. They do not chase elegance or technical display. They make heavy music that sounds sticky, hostile, and physical, turning repetition and distortion into a kind of low-end punishment.
Dopewalker is a doom and stoner metal band from Kyiv, Ukraine, formed in 2024. The project delivers heavy doom and stoner riffs from the Ukrainian capital.
Doppelganger is a thrash metal band from Glasgow, Scotland, active since 2008. The band deliver straight-ahead thrash metal rooted in the aggressive riffing traditions of the genre.
Doppelgänger of Death is a raw black metal project from Czech Republic, active since 2011. Self-described as "raw epic black metal," they have released splits and a self-titled album exploring atmospheric darkness with lo-fi ferocity.
