New Cumberland, Pennsylvania stoner metal/rock band crafting fuzz-soaked grooves rooted in Appalachian mysticism. The Hex of Penns Woods leans into regional folklore and occult themes through heavy, bluesy riffing.
Pittsburgh stoner metal outfit laying down thick grooves since 2012. Their album Darkest Hours trades in the kind of lumbering, riff-heavy jams that sound best at maximum volume in a basement venue — unpretentious, heavy, and built for the Steel City's blue-collar metal scene.
Philadelphia stoner metal act channeling cosmic visions through thick, fuzzy riffs, contributing to Philly's eclectic heavy music scene with space-drenched heaviness.
New Brunswick, New Jersey sludge and doom metal band active since 1993, building a deep catalog that includes Future Slum, Whiskey and Arm Wrestling, and a live set recorded at Roadburn 2017.
Lancaster, Pennsylvania outfit blending thrash, stoner metal, and punk with a lycanthropic/Satanic thematic bent, active from 2007 until their split-up.
Philadelphia's Chemical God trudges through the murky intersection of doom, sludge, and stoner metal with monolithic, fuzz-soaked riffs and a hypnotic low-end rumble. Their music worships at the altar of heaviness.
Philadelphia's Chimpgrinder is a slow, heavy assault built from the bones of sludge, doom, and stoner metal, bringing the city's gritty underground character to every feedback-laden note. Their approach is deliberately lumbering and oppressive, favoring weight over speed.
please update this band
Waynesboro, Pennsylvania's Death Rising blend groove metal's heaviness with stoner metal's hazy, slow-burning swagger — a combination that hits like a tire iron wrapped in smoke. Rolling slow and heavy through the Pennsylvania hills since 2021.
