If you’re in the mood for some sludgy growling mixed with clean grungy vocals, check out the debut from Virginia’s VIOLESCENT. From the band:
Violescent is a heavy trio from Richmond, VA that creates what they describe as ‘post-doom desert sludge’. On their debut EP, Violescent effortlessly combine elements of stoner doom with sludge, progressive, and post-metal; flowing between violent chaos and beautiful dark ambience. Violescent - Violescent is for fans of Thou, Monolord, Red Fang, Primitive Man, Windhand, Baroness, YOB, Cult of Luna, Inter Arma, Pallbearer, Mastodon, Electric Wizard, Amenra, Conan, Dopelord, Bongzilla, Chrome Ghost, Cough, The Ocean, and Weedeater.
If you dig horror movie samples in your doom, then you will absolutely dig this extended single from Germany’s DEVILSHARVEST:
Very heavy doom metal from Denver’s DRUNE:
Chill and inspiring at the same time. This psychedelic music from Austria’s ILLUSIONS OF AN ORANGE really connects with me!
If you dig post metal and prog metal, be sure to give this instrumental solo band a try. “Gilgamesh” is a concept album by DINO VAN BEDT from France:
JOHNNY RIFFMAGE is a one-man band from Slovakia with some seriously tough riffs.
What if Black Sabbath was re-created as a Christian metal band?? Check out WHITE SABBATH:
FDJ (Desert Psychlist) says, “This is what Zappa might have sounded like had he gone down the stoner/desert rabbit hole.” Check out NOVEMBER FIRE:
If krautrock is your thing (and concept albums), then check out “The Pandimensional Overlords” by Finland’s TRANSURANIC HEAVY ELEMENTS:
Hard-rockin’ garage tunes from Texas by LOONY BEN:
Grungy 1990s Seattle vibes from France’s BALAFRES:
More great live music! This one is from Los Angeles’ SURREAL FACES GROUP:

still going through the list - looking forward to it. I do notice that your choice Urban Legend
by Stoned Century is not a free download on bandcamp - not sure if it used to be and is paid now or something else.
