Acid Funeral is a Brazilian black/doom metal duo formed in 2024, consisting of vocalist Niili and multi-instrumentalist Billy Grind.

Brooklyn sludge metal project. The name's visceral, stomachic imagery channels physical discomfort through crushing heaviness.
Acid Hammer delivers doom and stoner metal from Amsterdam as of 2025. Their corrosive-tool name drives compositions of psychedelic heaviness from the Dutch capital.
San Francisco stoner metal legends and one of the heaviest bands the Bay Area has ever produced. Their crushing, psychedelic riffs have made them pillars of the American stoner metal scene.
