Emerging from the mist-covered mountains of Asturias in 2018, Alder Tree weaves black metal's ferocity with doom metal's crushing weight into atmospheric compositions. The project channels northern Spain's rugged natural landscapes into a sound that shifts between blast-beat intensity and glacial, suffocating heaviness.
Aleph Null is a stoner sludge trio from Dusseldorf, Germany, featuring Philip on guitars and vocals, Carsten on bass, and Jens on drums. Their releases, including the EPs Dale and Belladonna and the full-lengths Nocturnal and Endtime Sisters, deliver the low-end heaviness and hazy intensity that define the stoner sludge sound.
Algos crafts epic doom metal from an undisclosed Italian location since 2014, their Greek name meaning 'pain' guiding compositions of vast, sorrowful heaviness. Their anonymous approach keeps the focus on the monumental weight of their slow-moving epics.

Alien Queen merges death and doom metal from London since 2018, their xenomorphic name evoking the iconic film franchise's ultimate predator. Their approach brings cinematic horror to the English capital's extreme metal landscape.
