Monza, IT · 2014–present · active
Temple of Dust from Monza craft psychedelic doom and stoner metal that worships at the altar of decomposition since 2014. A decade of crumbling compositions from the Lombardy city of the famous Grand Prix circuit.
Liège, BE · 2010–present · active
Liège heavy doom outfit Temple of Nothing describe their sound simply as 'Down-tempo. Heavy. Doom. Rock.' and have been applying that creed since their 2010 debut EP Lazarus. Their 2013 full-length Psalms of Solitary Self-Indulgence expanded on that foundation, earning the band a following within the European doom and sludge underground.
Helsinki, FI · 2013–present · active
Temples is a sludge/stoner/doom metal band from Helsinki, Finland, formed in 2013. They combine sludge, stoner, and doom into a crushing wall of heaviness.
Antwerp, BE · 2019–present · active
Antwerp instrumental doom/stoner metal band Tharsis released their self-titled debut in July 2025, drawing praise for its combination of fuzz-heavy riffing, psychedelic space-rock passages, and unexpected shifts into drone and amplifier feedback. The record cites clear kinship with Bongzilla, Church of Misery, and Weedeater while incorporating narrative-driven samples that give the album a darkly cinematic quality.
Keighley, GB · 2020–present · active
The Aftermath from Keighley in West Yorkshire deliver stoner metal with the post-catastrophe desolation their name demands since 2020. Their Pennine mill-town base provides post-industrial atmosphere for compositions that survey the wreckage.
Liverpool, GB · 2007–present · active
The Bendal Interlude from Liverpool deliver southern and stoner metal with the Scouse swagger of England's music capital since 2007. Nearly two decades of bourbon-soaked compositions from the banks of the Mersey has transplanted American southern metal to the northwest of England.
Veneto, IT · 2017–present · active
The Black Lodge from Veneto deliver heavy and stoner metal named after the otherworldly realm from Twin Peaks since 2017. Their northeastern Italian base channels David Lynch's red-curtained nightmare through fuzz-drenched compositions.
London, GB · 2017–present · active
The Brothers Keg from London deliver stoner, doom, and sludge metal with the beer-barrel camaraderie their pub-culture name demands since 2017. Their compositions pair fuzz-drenched heaviness with the fraternal bonding of a good session at the local.
Lausanne, CH · 2015–present · active
Indie sludge band from Lausanne in Switzerland's French-speaking region. Their catalog includes the releases Conjure, Horde, and Fuel! Flames! Blast!, blending sludge metal weight with indie rock sensibility.
