Altus has been delivering groove and stoner metal from Belfast since 2001, making them one of Northern Ireland's longest-running heavy acts. Over two decades of rhythmically driven heaviness speak to extraordinary persistence within the Belfast metal community.
Alunah channels doom and stoner metal from Birmingham since 2020, continuing the Second City's proud tradition of heavy, riff-driven music pioneered by Black Sabbath. Their sound connects directly to the birthplace of doom metal itself.
Athens' Amalphi generate thick, fuzz-drenched doom and stoner metal built on massive riffs and hypnotic grooves. Since 2019, they've been crafting a haze of psychedelic heaviness that nods to the genre's desert rock roots.
Ambassadors of the Sun crafts stoner metal and rock from Falun in Dalarna since 2020. From this historic copper-mining town — whose famous red paint colored half of Sweden's wooden houses — they channel solar energy through fuzz-laden riffs.
Amber Platypus delivers stoner and sludge metal from Odesa since 2021. Their delightfully absurd name — a semi-precious monotreme — brings playful surrealism to heavy, fuzz-laden compositions from this Black Sea port city.
Ambra explores progressive stoner metal from Ljubljana since 2016. Named after the Slovenian word for amber — the fossilized tree resin — they bring geological patience and psychedelic warmth to heavy compositions from the capital.
Amnabys channels doom and stoner metal from the Hampshire town of Farnborough since 2024, bringing heavy, psychedelic grooves to the Home Counties. Their enigmatic name adds mystery to their crushing sound.
Andvara explores progressive stoner metal from Sundbyberg in the Stockholm metropolitan area since 2017. Named after the dwarf of Norse mythology who guarded a treasure of gold, they bring mythological wealth to psychedelic heaviness.
Angus Black conjures doom and stoner metal from Helsinki since 2017, blending crushing heaviness with the hazy grooves of psychedelic rock. Their sound navigates the murky intersection of Finland's doom metal heritage and stoner rock's cosmic wanderings.
