Snail is an American rock band that has carved a niche for itself in the psychedelic and stoner rock genres. Formed in the early 1990s in Seattle, Washington, this group initially garnered attention with their heavy, slow-paced riffs and thematic explorations that typify stoner rock ethos. The band's line-up has evolved over the years, but Mark Johnson (guitar, vocals), Matt Lynch (bass), and Marty Dodson (drums) have been core members contributing to the band's consistent sound.

Their journey began with their self-titled debut album "Snail" in 1993, which has since become a cult classic, leading to its remastered re-release in 2021—a testament to the enduring appeal of their sound. After an extended hiatus, Snail re-emerged with renewed vigor in the late 2000s, continuing to release music that resonates with fans of heavy, melodic rock. Albums such as "Feral" (2015) assert their signature blend of grungy, doom-laden grooves with a more polished, mature approach. Their most recent release, "Fractal Altar" (2021), proves that Snail has maintained their sonic integrity while exploring new musical territories, securing their legacy as a band whose eclectic progression continues to excite and engage audiences.
