Stoner Metal
Stoner Metal is a subgenre of heavy metal music characterized by slow, sludgy riffs, distorted guitars, and a psychedelic or trance-like sound. The music often features repetitive, hypnotic rhythms and lyrics that explore themes of drug use, escapism, and altered states of consciousness. Stoner Metal bands draw influence from 1970s hard rock, doom metal, and psychedelic rock, creating a sound that is heavy, trippy, and groove-oriented. Some notable Stoner Metal bands include Sleep, Electric Wizard, and Kyuss.
