Stoner Metal is a heavy metal subgenre blending psychedelic rock, doom metal, and blues rock. Emerging in the early 1990s, it’s known for its slow-to-mid tempos, heavy basslines, and fuzzy, retro guitar sound. The genre creates a laid-back, trance-like atmosphere, often with lyrics themed around space, mysticism, and introspection. Bands like Kyuss and Sleep are key figures, known for their hypnotic soundscapes. Stoner Metal is favored by those who enjoy a mix of heavy doom metal elements with psychedelic and groovy rock influences.
