Stoner/doom metal band from Rovaniemi, Finland — the city on the Arctic Circle — active since 2010 with a demo featuring tracks like Weedemon and Green Mind. Their heavy, riff-driven approach delivers stoner doom from one of the world's most northerly metal scenes.
Nantes stoner metal act formed in 2020, delivering fuzz-laden grooves from the Loire-Atlantique capital. Their autumnal name suits the hazy, unhurried quality of their riff-driven stoner metal.
German stoner metal/rock band from Bamberg, delivering fuzz-drenched grooves since 2019. Their playful, cephalopod-inspired name adds quirky character to their Franconian stoner approach.
Stoner/doom/sludge metal band from Ternopil, western Ukraine, formed in 2024. Their triple-genre approach delivers maximum heaviness from the Galician city.
Toulon stoner/thrash metal act from the French Riviera, active since 2016. Their petroleum-tinged name suits a style that blends stoner rock's dirty grooves with thrash metal's velocity, all baked under the Provencal sun.
Sudbury's Old Man Lizard cranks out fuzz-drenched stoner and sludge metal with a freewheeling, jam-oriented approach that channels the spirit of the desert rock tradition. Their thick, distorted grooves and laid-back swagger recall Kyuss and Weedeater.
Berlin sludge/stoner/doom metal act delivering triple-layered heaviness since 2021. Named after the largest volcano in the solar system, their sound aspires to similarly colossal proportions through low-tuned, feedback-drenched compositions.
Nuremberg psychedelic stoner/doom metal act active since 2011, marrying mind-expanding psychedelia with crushing doom weight. Over fifteen years they have developed a sound that is equal parts Sabbathian heaviness and lysergic exploration.
Stoner metal/rock band from Nevinnomyssk in Russia's Stavropol region, active since 2015. Their witch-themed name accompanies hazy, riff-heavy stoner metal from the North Caucasus.
