Belfast, United Kingdom — stoner metal of the most uncompromising kind. Active since 2015, they deal in desert-baked tonality and psychedelic haze over lumbering rhythms. The combination of influences yields something more interesting than any single genre label implies.
Indianapolis's Electric Satan cast a wide net across blackened death and doom metal, forging a sound since 2018 that is equal parts sinister and suffocating — the city's underground distilled into something genuinely malevolent.
Thrash metal act from Sofia, Bulgaria, delivering high-voltage aggression since 2016. Their name captures the electrifying intensity of their approach to modern thrash metal from Bulgaria's capital.
Part of Russia's sprawling, uncompromising metal landscape, this act channels heavy metal with a focus on iron-clad riffs and soaring melodic passages. Formed in 2023, based in Elektrostal, leather-jacket energy translated into headbanging-ready anthems.
Doom and stoner metal band from Dublin, Ireland active since 2012. They deliver heavy, fuzzy riffs from the Irish capital.
Electric Temple is a U.S. heavy metal act formed in 2011 whose blend of hard rock-adjacent riffing and traditional metal structures suggests a devotion to the classic form that transcends geography.
Born on Cape Cod in 2021, Electric Tomb play heavy doom metal with an air of coastal isolation, their slow, tolling riffs carrying a kind of nautical bleakness that makes the Hyannis origins feel fitting.
West Palm Beach's Electric Void traffic in fuzzed-out stoner metal under the South Florida sun, the band's 777-branded Bandcamp presence signaling a devotion to the cosmic and the heavy in equal measure since 2019.
Drone doom duo from Jyvaskyla, Finland active since 2012, featuring two bass players and drums. They describe their sound as crushing and groovy stoner doom powered by two distorted, fuzzy bass guitars.
