Rouen, FR · 2008–present · active
Ataraxie has been one of France's premier funeral doom/death metal bands since forming in Rouen in 2000, drawing from the early 90s doom/death scene to create some of the genre's most devastating compositions.

Paris, FR · 2014–present · active

Manchester's Atavist are purveyors of crushing doom, drone, and sludge metal, crafting monolithic compositions that move at glacial pace through landscapes of despair and misanthropy. Formed in 2004 and signed to Candlelight Records, they released landmark albums like 'II: Ruined' before a lengthy hiatus and eventual reformation.
Taranto, IT · 2019–present · active
