Doūsk is an instrumental stoner doom duo from Bobruisk (Belarus, Eastern Europe), formed in 2022. Their sound combines minimalism and heaviness, blending hypnotic riffs with almost industrial rhythms. Focused purely on groove and depth, Doūsk creates music that aims to connect on a subconscious level – no vocals, no excess, just raw, immersive sound.

On March 21, 2025, Doūsk recorded a mesmerizing live performance at “Reactor” club in Minsk, capturing the raw energy of their sound and the immersive experience of their show.

Dmitry Vashkov, drummer of Doūsk, shares his thoughts on the project and the performance:

“For years, we played in different bands, but only now have we realized what we truly want to create. We took all our accumulated experience and decided to craft something powerful. Our show at ‘Reactor’ felt like a vortex in time – you exist in the past, stand on stage in the present, and your mind is already in the future. It was an incredible experience!”
