Groove metal outfit from Athens, formed in 2017. Their material trades in the satisfying crunch of heavy, rhythmically driven riffs that demand involuntary neck movement.
Livadia-based stoner metal outfit active since 2016, channeling thick, fuzz-drenched riffs and a laid-back, groove-driven approach to heaviness. Their sound worships at the altar of the almighty riff, drawing from the deep wells of 1970s proto-metal and desert rock.
Stoner doom act from Groningen, formed in 2017. Their music moves at a glacial pace through layers of fuzz and psychedelic textures, inviting the listener into a trance-like state of heavy meditation.
Spanish stoner/sludge metal band from Cantabria, formed in 2022. They deliver heavy, fuzzy stoner-sludge from the green coast of northern Spain.
Two-piece stoner punk outfit from Nottingham, conceived in 2024 and self-described as thunderous stoner punk. Their debut Mortal Engines EP blends stoner metal heaviness with garage rock energy and punk attitude across four tracks of crushing, groove-driven riffage.
Mława-based stoner metal outfit active since 2017, building their sound on thick, fuzz-drenched riffs and a laid-back, groove-heavy approach to heavy music. Their compositions channel the warmth of 1970s proto-metal through walls of modern distortion.
Stoner metal band from Namur, Belgium, active since 2012. They deliver fuzz-drenched riffs and heavy grooves steeped in the stoner metal tradition.
Krasnoyarsk-based stoner/doom outfit active since 2022, conjuring thick clouds of fuzz-laden riffage and hypnotic, groove-driven compositions. Their sound channels the haze of 1970s proto-metal through a modern lens of distortion-worship and lysergic exploration.
