Vladivostok, RU · 2014–present · active
Acid Cøma channels drone, doom, and sludge metal from Vladivostok since 2014. From Russia's Pacific port — closer to Tokyo than to Moscow — they craft hallucinogenic heaviness influenced by their Far Eastern geography.

Rovaniemi, FI · 2021–present · active
Acid Freak combines heavy and thrash metal from Rovaniemi, the capital of Finnish Lapland, since 2021. Their psychedelic-tinged name suggests a band that filters classic metal through the strange light of the Arctic Circle.
Birmingham, GB · 2014–present · active

Pescara, IT · 2016–present · active
Acid Grime delivers sludge metal from Pescara, the Adriatic port city in Abruzzo, since 2016. Their caustic name captures the corrosive, gritty texture of their sound — heavy, dirty, and unapologetically abrasive.
Amsterdam, NL · 2025–present · active
Acid Hammer delivers doom and stoner metal from Amsterdam as of 2025. Their corrosive-tool name drives compositions of psychedelic heaviness from the Dutch capital.
Athens, GR · 2017–present · active
Athens' Acid Mammoth are one of Greece's premier doom-stoner acts, crushing listeners under mammoth-sized fuzz riffs and Black Sabbath-worshipping heaviness on albums like 'Under Acid Hoof' and 'Supersonic Megafauna Collision' for Heavy Psych Sounds. Founded by father-and-son guitarists Chris Babalis Sr. and Jr., the band's family bond fuels a uniquely cohesive and devastating wall of sound.
