Doctor Smoke is an American heavy metal band that has carved out a distinctive place within the genre, blending elements of doom metal, classic rock, and traditional metal to create a sound that is both nostalgic and refreshing. Emerging from the rustbelt town of Mingo Junction, Ohio, the band was founded in 2012 and quickly garnered attention with their compelling riffs, dark thematic explorations, and the hauntingly melodic vocals of lead singer/guitarist Matt Tluchowski. The lineup is completed by talented musicians who come together to deliver a sound that echoes the classic metal acts of yesteryear while still innovating within the boundaries of modern metal music.

The band stepped into the spotlight with their debut album, "The Witching Hour," which was released in 2014 and solidified their status as up-and-comers in the heavy metal scene. With subsequent offerings such as "This Hallowed Ground" and the gripping single "The Rope," Doctor Smoke continued to build their fanbase and refine their style. Their 2021 release, "Dreamers And The Dead," showcases a matured sound that is both aggressive and thoughtful, featuring tracks like "Been Here Forever" that display the band's ability to weave storytelling into their music. The dynamic "Trick Or Treat" further exemplifies their capacity for catchy hooks that stay with listeners long after the song has ended, marking Doctor Smoke as a band with the potential to endure and evolve in the world of heavy metal.
