"Valser is a three-piece doom / post metal band from the Netherlands. Their sound is mainly discordant with a strong focus on rhythm, alternated with some heavy atmospheric parts." Last.fm
"Florida’s sludge two-piece Dark Castle first appeared in 2008 with an elaborately packaged self-released demo (Flight of the Pegasus) that garned a good deal of favorable attention from the metal press and other bands (including Relapse Records’ Minsk). It is easy to see why this unsigned band turned so many heads, as there are several obvious elements that separate them from their peers." Last.fm
Across Tundras is Tanner Olson, Dan Catron, and Matt Shively. Brewing heavy psychedelic jams in the hills of Tennessee; Across Tundras seamlessly melds classic rock, folk, country, psychedelia, and doom into songs that defy classification. Last.fm
Another stoner rock group from Russia. Nothing new here, generic riffs that work but the vocals are less desirable. Regardless, I find myself listening to Widowland when I get burnt out listening to what is on my normal musical rotation.
"Undersmile are a Female-Fronted Sludgecore band from Oxford, England. They are-Taz Corona-Brown on Vocals and Guitars, Hel Sterne on Vocals and Lead Guitars, Olly Corona-Brown on Bass Guitars and Tom McKibbin on Drums. They grew up to the strains of Melvins, Mudhoney, Hole, Babes In Toyland etc and are influenced by the slow/heavy sound of the early 90’s as well as bands such as Harvey Milk, Swans, Pissed Jeans…" - Last.fm
"Hailing from Chicago, The Atlas Moth take their bluesy hometown roots and combine that with New Orleans stylesludge & 60s psychedelic. Gritty and raw, yet thought out and insightful. If you grew up living in a swamp wearing a Black Sabbath T-Shirt and ate nothing but fried chicken, this is your band." Last.fm
Queen Elephantine first started out in hong kong, moved to NYC. Very unique sense of psych drone, lots of chanting vocals, lots of tabla and sitar, all very ambient and spiritual and psychedelic.

"Finally, a psychedelic band that successfully crosses generations, appealing equally to old school bong-bubblers, kinky krautrockers and the new school of psychedelic stooges. Can-style jams, trance-inducing drones and Ummagumma-era Pink Floyd ambiance may be the foundation here but these improv jams easily break from the tether of their influences and soar righteously through the stratosphere. Freak out..." - Last.fm
