Description

Stoner metal is a subgenre of heavy metal that emerged in the late 1980s and early 1990s. It is characterized by its heavy, slow and groovy sound, which is influenced by doom metal, psychedelic rock and blues rock. The lyrics of stoner metal often deal with topics related to drugs, spirituality, and mysticism. The music is typically played at a slower tempo than other metal subgenres, with distorted guitars and a heavy bass and drum sound. Key bands in the stoner metal scene include Sleep, Kyuss, Electric Wizard, and High on Fire.
