The Rhubarb from Glasgow deliver stoner and doom metal under one of heavy music's most wonderfully absurd band names since 2016. A decade of compositions from Scotland's largest city has proven that crushing heaviness need not take itself seriously.
The River from London craft doom metal and atmospheric rock that flows with the slow, inevitable force of their waterway namesake since 2006. Nearly two decades of compositions from the banks of the Thames has produced music as deep and unhurried as the river itself.
