Named for the fearsome Slavic witch of folklore, Pomona's Babayaga applies that mythic dread to their fusion of doom and sludge metal, active since 2022 on the fringes of Southern California's underground heavy scene.
Brooklyn psychedelic doom and stoner metal band formed in 2010, issuing the Demonstration EP and the Black Blizzard single — their hazy, slow-burning approach sits at the intersection of doom and psychedelic rock.
Formed in Syracuse, New York in 2017, Cactus Cathedral crafts slow-burning stoner and doom metal weighted with riff-heavy grooves and an earthy, psychedelic undertow.
Hailing from Watertown, New York, Cacus plays stoner and doom metal rooted in thick, mid-paced riffing and a hazy, amplifier-worshipping aesthetic.
Rochester, New York's Chillum sinks deep into the swampy intersection of sludge and stoner metal, delivering slow, fuzz-drenched riffs designed to crush. Their music is immersive and heavy, owing debts to both the Southern sludge tradition and psychedelic smoke-worship.
Brooklyn's Clothesline draw on doom, stoner rock, and wrestling-fueled attitude from a lineup featuring members of Reign of Zaius and End of Hope. Their slow-burn approach captures the grimy, unhurried heaviness of the New York underground.
Brooklyn's Clovis play a wall-of-sound doom and stoner rock blend steeped in grunge and classic heavy riffing. Their self-titled LP documents a band content to let the volume speak for itself.
Rochester, New York's Clyde play a heavy, riff-centered stoner rock and metal blend rooted in the upstate New York underground. Their straightforward approach relies on massive tones and slow groove.
Buffalo, New York stoner metal unit Cobra Tits bring a thick slab of fuzz and irreverent attitude to the upstate New York heavy music scene. Their no-frills approach leans into bong-crusted grooves and blunt-force riffage.
