Sedated Angel channel stoner metal and rock from Kolding, building hazy, laid-back compositions from the Jutland harbor town. Active since 2007, they bring tranquilized heaviness to the Danish stoner scene.
Selfexile blend doom metal, stoner grooves, and death 'n' roll from Sokolov, creating a murky, riff-driven sound that swings between slow-motion devastation and swaggering heaviness. Their western Bohemian roots lend a gritty, industrial-town edge to their music.
Septic Apes deliver stoner and sludge metal from Jyvaskyla, building hazy, primate-themed compositions from the central Finnish Lakeland. Active since 2012, they bring infected simian grooves to the Keski-Suomi stoner scene.
Rooted in Toulon's sun-baked Mediterranean coast, Serpent View has been churning out thick, resinous stoner/sludge/doom metal since 2014. Their sound contrasts the region's seaside warmth with crushing, low-tuned heaviness and crawling tempos.
Shades of God combine death, thrash, and stoner metal from Munich, drawing their name from a Paradise Lost album and channeling a similar eclecticism. Their triple-genre Bavarian approach refuses to settle into any single mode of heaviness.
Suzzara's Shades of Ravaillac emerged in 2025 with stoner metal named for the assassin of Henry IV. Their historical reference and Lombard small-town origins create an unlikely but distinctive identity.
Padua's Shadow Sun pair doom and stoner metal from the Veneto since 2016. Their oxymoronic name captures the paradox of their sound: simultaneously bright and heavy, warm and crushing.
Siversky's Shamayna merge doom, sludge, and stoner metal from the Leningrad Oblast village since 2021. Their shamanic name and rural origins near Saint Petersburg channel spiritual healing rituals into compositions of multi-layered heaviness.
Shovell channel doom and stoner metal from Barcelona, building heavy, riff-driven compositions. Emerging in 2025, they bring digging-deep heaviness to the Catalan underground.
