Philadelphia's Elderwyrm crawls through the fertile ground between stoner and doom metal since forming in 2022, the serpentine name matching a sound built on slow, coiling heaviness and fuzz-thick riffs. Classic Philly grit runs underneath the haze.
Stamford, Connecticut's Electric Beast weaves together progressive doom and stoner heaviness into long, sprawling tracks that build slowly before collapsing under their own weight — a band for the patient and the stonerd alike.
Cincinnati's Electric Citizen bring a vintage sensibility to heavy and stoner metal, anchored by soulful vocals and riffs that feel pulled from a forgotten corner of the 1970s rock underground — formed in 2014 but sounding timeless.
Orlando's Electric Dawn wraps psychedelic stoner and doom metal in a sun-bleached haze, the humid weight of Florida coming through in every note since the band formed in 2018.
Named with appropriate menace, Lakewood, Ohio's Electric Lucifer play stoner-soaked doom metal with a Sabbath-worshipping dedication — heavy, languid, and thoroughly infernal since 2013.
West Palm Beach's Electric Void traffic in fuzzed-out stoner metal under the South Florida sun, the band's 777-branded Bandcamp presence signaling a devotion to the cosmic and the heavy in equal measure since 2019.
Out of Medford, Oregon, Elk Witch conjure stoner metal with a particularly Pacific Northwest character — wooded and fuzz-drenched, like a riff being played at the edge of a forest at dusk.
Orlando thrash metal project from the Florida underground.
Birmingham's Embr move at the pace of deep Southern heat, spinning out heavy, narcotic stoner doom that suits Alabama's geography. Since 2016, the band has cultivated a sound that's equal parts psychedelic haze and gravitational pull.
