Cycle of Pain is the band of the bassist John J.D. DeServios of Black Label Society. It's pretty good stoner metal that is well worth listening to. It's hard to not say this sounds like a BLS album which it does but it's different. So if you like BLS than you'll like this as well.

Speedealer - Second Sight (2002)
Speedealer (once know as REO Speedealer) from Lubbock, TX churn out some crazy ass Thrash n' Roll that borders on punk, speed metal and stoner rock. Second Sight is their 3rd release with 12 tracks that are like a kick in the nuts.
The title track "Second Sight" is a D.R.I. / Metallica assault while "All the Things You'll Never Be" sounds like Motorhead on a 8-Ball. On the 4th track "The Thin Air" Speedealer settles into a big-balled Stoner Metal/Rock jam of epic proportions.

Solace - The Black Black (2007)
Here's another heavy rockin' gem from Solace. The Black Black is a 4 song EP that clocks in at just over 30 minutes but each songs packs a wallop of fuzzed out stoner metal that is very Black Sabbath sounding.
The first track, "Khan (World Of Fire)" starts off slow and brooding but quickly turns into a chugging monster riff jam that reminds me of Lo-Pans's "Dragline". "Destroy the Gift" is another slow burner that opens up the throttle at 1:18 and doesn't let up for 7 minutes with a jam that's a cross between The Allman Brothers and Slayer. "The Devil's Clock" is a 13 minute epic of stoner doom. And the last track, "World War" continues the doom with a heavy as groove that leaves you wanting more.

Brain Police - Beyond The Wasteland (2008)
The Brain Police come from "the land of ice and snow" better know as Reykjavik, Iceland and they play kick ass Stoner Rock. They have all the makings of a great band, they've got fat fuzzy riffs layered on top of a solid drums with a singer with a cigarette and whiskey soaked voice that can growl, scream and even carry a tune. The Brain Police crank out a mix of heavy, fuzzy, speed and aggressive tunes that remind me of Scissorfight.
These Icelandic rockers have been fuckin' it up since 1998 but it wasn't until 2005 that they exposed them selves to the world beyond their island home. Beyond the Wasteland is their first release on Small Stone records which is a solid play it end-to-end album that gets better every time I listen to it.

Karma to Burn - Almost Heathen (2001)

Oh and check out the track list. Since this album is all instrumental they just numbered the songs.

Solace – Further (2000)
At first glace of the album cover my first thoughts were that this is another Nordic Black Metal band, to which I say no thanks. A few months later while lurking around last.fm I see that Solace has been labeled as "Stoner Rock". Really?
As the saying goes "you cannot judge a book by its' cover" and Solace is a shining example. Further has a Black Sabbath meets Alice in Chains stoned and grooving feel.
Tracks:
1. Man Dog
2. Black Unholy Ground
3. Followed
4. Whistle Pig
5. Hungry Mother
6. Angels Dreaming
7. Suspicious Tower
8. Heavy Birth / 2 Fisted
