The Montreal trio Dopethrone has been active since 2008, playing squalid metal anchored in NOLA-style sludge and sluggish doom. Their riffs are thick, suffocating and destructive, and their lyrics deal with murder, self-destruction and smoking weed. Dopethrone debuted in 2009 with the album Demonsmoke; they have released four more albums since, the most recent of which is 2024's Transcanadian Anger.
