Band To Check Out - Instrumental Doom/Stoner Metallers Doūsk

Doūsk is an instrumental Doom/Stoner Metal duo from Bobruisk (Belarus, Eastern Europe) that blends minimalism and crushing heaviness to create an atmospheric stoner-doom sound. Their music is built on hypnotic riffs and monotonous, almost industrial rhythms — pure groove, depth, and a sound that resonates on a subconscious level.

On March 21, 2025, Doūsk recorded a mesmerizing live performance at "Reactor" club in Minsk, capturing the raw energy of their sound and the immersive experience of their show.

Dmitry Vashkov, drummer of Doūsk, shares his thoughts on the project and the performance:

"For years, we played in different bands, but only now have we realized what we truly want to create. We took all our accumulated experience and decided to craft something powerful. Our show at 'Reactor' felt like a vortex in time — you exist in the past, stand on stage in the present, and your mind is already in the future. It was an incredible experience!"

A live album featuring this intense performance is set to be released this May via Riff Dealers.
