Rising from the high plains of Amarillo, Texas, Garthok has been dealing in bone-dry stoner and doom metal since 2012 — a fitting sound for the flat, punishing landscape of the Texas panhandle. Slow, hazy, and heavy.

Towering Stoner / Doom Metal from Houston.

Suffocating Sludge / Doom Metal from Houston.

Heavy Doom Metal from Austin.

Colossal Death / Doom Metal out of Texas.

Dallas stoner/doom trio. Massive fuzzy riffs and heavy grooves.

Occult blackened death/doom from the Ordo Satanae Imperium collective. Shares members with Nyogthaeblisz and Nexul. Two albums on Iron Bonehead Productions.

Melodic death/doom started as a one-man project by Casey Hurd. Signed to Napalm Records. Albums include Order Divine and Shatter And Fall.

Vicious Groove / Thrash Metal from San Antonio.

Named for one of World War II's most brutal and forgotten campaigns, Fort Worth's Hürtgen Forest channel that same grinding attrition through sludge-drenched doom metal. Since 2016, they've built a sound as punishing and relentless as the battlefield that inspired them.

Houston's Imp Tea brews stoner and doom metal into a slow, hazy concoction that reflects the city's humid lethargy — heavy enough to crush, loose enough to feel lived-in.

Colossal Funeral Doom Metal from Austin.

Crushing Southern / Heavy Metal, Stoner / Doom Metal from College Station.

Houston's Just Art Dead have been mining the grim overlap between death and doom metal since 2018, crafting slow, suffocating compositions that weaponize atmosphere as effectively as they do brutality. A strong entry in the Texas extreme metal scene.

Scorching Black Metal (early); Melodic Post-Black Metal / Shoegaze (mid); Black / Death / Doom Metal (later) from Keller.
