On June 13, 2025, Riff Dealers released a live album by Minsk-based stoner doom band Pogreb. The record captures the raw, unrelenting energy of their recent performance and features four crushing tracks steeped in slow-burning riffs, feedback worship and bleak atmosphere.
Погреб (Pogreb) is a stoner doom band from Minsk (Belarus, Eastern Europe), formed in 2023. Their slow and heavy sound built around repetitive riffs, minimalistic song structures, and a deliberately raw aesthetic. The band draws clear influence from the early records of Electric Wizard, as well as the bleak, hypnotic atmosphere of 70s proto-metal and Eastern European underground music.
Over the past few years, Погреб (Pogreb) has quietly built a presence in the local heavy scene, playing basement shows, DIY festivals, and small clubs. Their live performances are straightforward and intentionally stripped down – no visuals, no stage banter, just loud amps and slow riffs.
More information about Погреб (Pogreb) can be found on the band’s electronic press kit.
