Rotterdam, NL · 2019–present · active
Acid Reflux channels stoner and doom metal from Rotterdam since 2019. Their gastroenterological name captures the burning, rising discomfort of their heavy, fuzz-laden sound from the Netherlands' industrial port city.
Pilsen, CZ · 2016–present · active
Acid Row are a stoner rock trio from Pilsen, Czech Republic, formed in 2012, who pair the fuzzed-out heaviness of doom and stoner metal with punk attitude, psychedelic detours, and grunge-inflected noise. Their third full-length, "Poisoned Mind," arrived in March 2024, backed by a music video for the single "The Emperor" that emphasizes their blunt, groove-driven approach.
Kent, GB · 2025–present · active
Acid State channels doom and sludge metal from Kent since 2025, their corrosive name reflecting the dissolving, heavy sound they create. The project represents the newest wave of extreme heaviness from England's Garden County.
North Rhine-Westphalia, DE · 2020–present · active
Acid Toad practices doom metal from North Rhine-Westphalia since 2020, their amphibian-psychedelic name evoking the hallucinogenic toad-licking myths of popular culture. Their Rhineland doom favors patient, monolithic riff construction.
Nysa, PL · 2013–present · active
AcidLand creates sludge, stoner, and doom metal from Nysa in Opole Voivodeship since 2013. From this Silesian town on the Nysa Kłodzka River, they craft hazy, riff-worshipping heaviness that dissolves listeners in its psychedelic weight.
Uppsala, SE · 2013–present · active
Acolytes of Moros crafts doom metal from Uppsala since 2013. Named after the devotees of the Greek personification of impending doom, they deliver over a decade of ominous heaviness from Sweden's ancient ecclesiastical capital.
Dublin, IE · 2022–present · active
Acrid Nebula fuses death, thrash, and doom metal from Dublin, a tri-genre approach they have maintained since 2022. Their corrosive, cloud-like name captures the toxic haze their music generates across these interconnected styles.
Halland, SE · 2021–present · active
Across Taiga merges black and doom metal from Halland in southwestern Sweden since 2021. Their boreal-forest name — the vast coniferous biome — brings Siberian-scale wilderness imagery to their Nordic compositions.
Malbork, PL · 2005–present · active
Acrybia has undergone a remarkable evolution from death metal through raw industrial black metal to funeral doom from Malbork since 2005. The Teutonic Knights' fortress city provides historically charged context for their two-decade stylistic odyssey.
