Seattle, WA · 2017–present · active
Seattle's Skell has been grinding out thick, suffocating walls of sludge, drone, and doom since 2017, embodying the Pacific Northwest's long tradition of heaviness with slow-crawling tempos and abrasive textures built to crush.
Chicago, IL · 2015–present · active

Milwaukee, WI · 2009–present · active
Milwaukee's Slob Donovan have spent over a decade dragging drone, sludge, and doom metal into the slowest possible territory since their 2009 formation, producing music defined by cavernous low frequencies and suffocating tempo. They sit comfortably in the Wisconsin underground's tolerance for the willfully ugly and punishing.
Los Angeles, CA · 2020–present · active

Geneva, Illinois drone, doom, and sludge metal band formed in 2021, layering oppressive sonic weight across slow, cavernous compositions in the tradition of Midwestern heavy experimentalism.
Los Angeles, California · 2000–present · active
Sunn O))) are one of the most influential drone/doom metal acts in the world, formed in Los Angeles in 2000 by Stephen O'Malley and Greg Anderson as a continuation and expansion of the Earth drone legacy. Their music consists of monolithic walls of heavily amplified guitar feedback and sub-bass rumble that blur the lines between metal, minimalist composition, and ritual sound art.
Northern New Jersey · 2014–present · active
Sunrot are a sludge/drone/doom metal band from northern New Jersey, formed in 2014, known for punishing walls of noise that combine the slow-motion heaviness of doom with the abrasive corrosiveness of drone and the filth-soaked aggression of sludge.
Oshkosh, WI · 2019–present · active
Sunwrecker is a black/doom drone metal project from Oshkosh, Wisconsin, formed in 2019, conjuring suffocating sonic landscapes that draw equally from the desolation of black metal, the glacial weight of doom, and the trance-inducing repetition of drone.
