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.
Lakewood, OH · 2013–present · active
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, FL · 2019–present · active
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.
Medford, OR · 2021–present · active
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.
Birmingham, AL · 2016–present · active
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.
Madison, WI · 2015–present · active
Madison's Emerald Douglas trade in thick stoner riffs and slow-crawling doom, channeling the cold Wisconsin winters into music built for haze, weight, and deliberate, crushing movement.
Austin, TX · 2014–present · active
Austin's Emerald Wolfen channel the city's storied stoner and doom heritage into slow, lysergic riff cycles built for volume and open space — music that feels as much at home in the Texas Hill Country as it does in a sweat-soaked venue.
Easton, MD · 2021–present · active
From the small Maryland town of Easton on the Eastern Shore, Eminent Domain pair stoner fuzz with traditional heavy metal bones, making music that feels grounded in rural disillusionment and amplifier worship.
Dallas, TX · 2017–present · active
Colossal Stoner / Doom Metal out of Texas.
Atlanta, GA · 2021–present · active
Atlanta's Empty Black wallow in the Southern sludge tradition — stoner-thick riffs baked in tar and doom, the kind of slow-burn heaviness the city's heavy underground has perfected.
Sacramento, CA · 2017–present · active
Sacramento stoner/doom act whose name is either deeply self-deprecating or perfectly evocative of the hazy, half-lidded tempos they've been delivering since 2017. Sun-baked California riffs slow-cooked until they collapse under their own weight.
Fairfax, VA · 2023–present · active
Fairfax, Virginia's Engineered Extinction blends stoner and doom metal into thick, hazy compositions that rumble with low-end menace since their 2023 formation. Their name hints at their thematic preoccupations — slow, deliberate, and terminal.
Akron, OH · 2016–present · active
Akron's Enhailer drifts through the hazy overlap of stoner, doom, and sludge, conjuring thick, feedback-drenched riffs and narcotic tempos suited to the Rust Belt's industrial melancholy.
Saint Paul, MN · 2025–present · active
Formed in Saint Paul in 2025, Enigmatus is a freshly-surfaced presence in the Midwest sludge and stoner doom scene, conjuring heavy, haze-filled sonic landscapes from the frozen north.
