Bloomington, Indiana's Thorr-Axe play a riff-worshipping brand of stoner doom that sits comfortably in the lineage of Electric Wizard and Saint Vitus while carrying its own Midwestern heft. Formed in 2010, the band leans into fuzz-thick guitar tone and hypnotic, plodding tempos that invite the listener to lose themselves in the low end.
Buffalo, New York's Thortoise have been crafting melodic death metal since 2017, blending Scandinavian melodic influence with the blunt-force energy of American death metal. The band's name cheekily suggests a slow-and-steady philosophy, but their music moves with real purpose and melodic clarity.
