Out of Westchester County, New York since 2017, Thunderon blend the hazy low end of stoner metal with the atmospheric reach of post-metal, crafting music that drifts between weighted groove and more expansive, effects-laden territory. Their suburban New York origin gives them a certain restless edge that keeps the music from settling too comfortably into either genre.

Hudson, New York's Titanosaur are a stoner metal act formed in 2018, rooted in the slow-churning, fuzz-drenched riff traditions of the genre while drawing on the Hudson Valley's quieter, more pastoral surroundings as a counterpoint to their outsized heaviness.

A 2025 formation out of Syracuse, New York, Void Emperor combine doom metal's suffocating tempo with sludge's corroded weight and the hazy warmth of stoner metal — the kind of combination that turns listening into a slow, deliberate surrender.

Brand new but immediately committed to the low and slow.

Bay Shore, New York's Witchtripper have been plying their trade in stoner doom since 2016, bringing Long Island into a genre conversation usually dominated by the American South and West. Their sound is rooted in heavy psychedelic grooves and slow-burn riff cycles that reward cranking the volume in a dark room. They are a consistent presence in the New York-area underground heavy music world.

Brooklyn's Wretched Tsar have been dragging sludge and stoner metal through New York's underground since 2016, combining the slow, crushing weight of sludge with the hazy, amplifier-worship side of stoner metal. The result is heavy in both mass and atmosphere, made for dark rooms and loud speakers.
