Groan is a UK-based heavy metal band notorious for their thunderous blend of stoner and doom metal with a classic rock flair. The band formed in the late 2000s, quickly garnering attention within the heavy metal and stoner rock communities for their unabashed love for the riff and an irreverent sense of humour that pervades both their music and their image.

Their most recent releases exhibit the band's evolving sound and persistent energy. "Highrospliffics," with its clever play on words, showcases Groan's penchant for the heavy and the psychedelic, and features a thick, intoxicating haze of guitar work that characterizes their unique take on stoner metal. "Ride the Snake" perpetuates this tradition with robust, undulating rhythms and riffs that harken back to the halcyon days of '70s hard rock, further cementing their reputation. "The Divine Right of Kings," delves deep into the band's doom metal roots, offering a more foreboding tone that complements the lighter touch found on their other albums, displaying Groan's versatility and command over their genre's diverse soundscapes. Through these releases, Groan has continued to captivate their fans and maintain a revered status among aficionados of the riff-laden corners of metal.
