CRYSTAL SPIDERS (Raleigh, NC | Ripple Music)
Raleigh's own Crystal Spiders deal in fuzzed-out riffs, thundering drums, and smoky, dynamic vocals — a potent blend of stoner doom, sludge, and heavy psych that hits like a slow-motion freight train. Fronted by bassist/vocalist Brenna Leath (Lightning Born), the band has built a devoted following in the underground doom scene with three albums on legendary imprint Ripple Music, including their latest Metanoia (2025). Pulling from classic rock dynamics, punk intensity, and bluesy swing, Crystal Spiders forge their own path through the heavy psych wasteland — and they're absolutely crushing live.

INSOMNIAC (Atlanta, GA | Blues Funeral Recordings)
Atlanta's transcendent post-doom architects INSOMNIAC coalesce onto our plane like a third eye opening into the beyond — like-minded explorers of sound and mind writing songs in the frequency of the earth. Featuring members of Zoroaster, Deceased, and Avedissian Pickups, the quintet's mind-expanding psychedelic heaviness casts light on the magic and strange beauty balanced between unconsciousness and dreams. Their debut album Om Moksha Ritam (2025, Blues Funeral Recordings) is a brooding, heavy, and psychedelic journey — every spin reveals another layer. Don't sleep on it.

HORSEBURNER (Parkersburg, WV | Blues Funeral Recordings)
Born from the wild Appalachian green of West Virginia, Horseburner has been doing it the hard way since 2008 — self-recording, relentless touring, and building their reputation one crushing show at a time. Riff-heavy, road-tested, and relentless, the quartet blends sludge, stoner metal, and doom rock into something gritty, groovy, and impossible to ignore. With hundreds of shows under their belts alongside the likes of Torche, Weedeater, Corrosion of Conformity, and The Obsessed, and their latest record Voice of Storms (2024) earning serious underground buzz, Horseburner is a force of nature live.
