Levittown, New York's Dragons Bane have been trading in heavy, riff-centric stoner metal since 2013, built on the kind of thick, slow-rolling grooves that owe as much to Black Sabbath as to anything from the California desert scene. Long Island's working-class sensibility gives their sound a grounded, unflashy quality — they're more concerned with making rooms move than with cult-of-the-riff posturing.
Dragonspell plays symphonic metal from Moscow, formed in 2022 and weaving dragon-fire fantasy themes through orchestral arrangements and heavy riffing. Their enchantment-of-dragons name captures the genre's fascination with the mythological and the epic.
