Green Dragon is a sludge/stoner/doom metal band from Torun, active since 2013. They deliver massive, fuzz-drenched stoner doom from the medieval Vistula city.
Formed in Denver, Colorado in 2014, Green Druid play a psychedelic strain of stoner doom that leans into Lovecraftian atmosphere and isolationist weight rather than simple Sabbath worship. Their 2018 debut Ashen Blood on Earache Records established the band's slow-burning, riff-heavy approach, followed by At the Maw of Ruin in 2020, which expanded the sonic palette while preserving the fundamental density. The band approaches the genre with enough self-awareness to actively push beyond its conventions.
Green Entities is a black metal project from Gothenburg, formed in 2024. They deliver black metal from the Swedish city most famous for its death metal tradition.
Green Eternity is a sludge/doom metal band from Malvern in Worcestershire, active since 2009. They channel heavy sludge and doom from the foot of the Malvern Hills.
Green Giant is a stoner/doom metal band from Krakow, active since 2008. They deliver riff-heavy stoner doom from Poland's cultural capital.
Green Hell is a thrash metal band from Budapest, Hungary, formed in 2020 and channeling classic thrash fury from the banks of the Danube. The project's name evokes both the iconic Misfits song and the relentless intensity of their thrash assault.
Brooklyn's Green Hog Band blend psychedelic rock, stoner riffing, and doom-paced heaviness into something loose-limbed and groove-driven. Since 2020 they've been staking out the cosmic, smoke-hazed intersection of those worlds in New York City's underground.
New Jersey's Green Inferno draw their name from the cannibal horror tradition and channel that aesthetic into slow, suffocating doom metal built on mountainous riffs. Since 2019, they've been making music as heavy and unpleasant as the films that inspired them.
Green King is a four-piece heavy metal and doom band from Helsinki, Finland, formed in 2017, self-described as 'beer fueled stoner and heavy metal for all the trippers, tokers, hippies and followers of the left-hand path.' Their 2022 debut Hidden Beyond Time on The Sign Records spans galloping 1970s-80s metal riffs, stoner-infused adrenaline, and folk-inspired melodies across eight tracks.
