Fayetteville, Arkansas' Mud Lung have been churning out slow, tar-thick sludge and doom since 2013, with a sound that captures the oppressive humidity and isolation of the Ozarks in layers of distorted feedback and downtuned misery.
Mud Valley is a doom and stoner metal band from Dourdan, France, formed in 2025. They channel heavy, sludgy stoner doom from the Île-de-France countryside.
San Francisco's Mudface have been one of the Bay Area's reliable heavy and thrash metal acts since 2011, delivering hard-hitting riffs with a working-class directness that nods to the region's legendary thrash heritage without being beholden to nostalgia.
