Abrahma emerged from the ashes of Parisian band Alcohsonic in 2011, becoming one of the torchbearers of French heavy rock on the international scene. Their psychedelic doom addresses mental health and dark conditions across albums like "In Time for the Last Rays of Light," blending stoner grooves with spiritual and occult themes.
Abramakabra has explored the crushing intersection of drone, doom, and sludge metal from Milan since 2016. Their name, a variation on the mystic formula, channels ritualistic repetition through glacially slow, monolithic heaviness.
A doom and sludge metal band from Bamberg, Germany, Absent/Minded have been crafting dense, slow-burning heaviness since 2015. Their sound merges the crushing weight of sludge with the mournful deliberation of doom, reflecting the Franconian city's quiet intensity.
Absenth has navigated from melodic death and doom metal through industrial gothic to melodic metalcore from Voronezh since 2005. Two decades of stylistic reinvention from this Black Earth Region city speak to relentless creative restlessness.
Abstract Spirit has crafted funeral doom metal from Moscow since 2008. Nearly two decades of glacially paced compositions from the Russian capital have established them among the country's most patient purveyors of extreme heaviness.
Absum weaves funeral doom, black metal, and drone from the Lombard city of Lodi since 2011. Their Latin name meaning 'I am absent' perfectly captures the dissociative, trance-like state their glacial compositions induce.
A psychedelic doom/sludge quartet from Charleroi formed in 2015, self-described as a "doom infused cosmic quartet." Their catalog spans a self-titled EP (2017), demo Black Land (2019), and two full-lengths, Plèbe 2178 (2021) and Bicolor Tantra (2024), each pushing further into dense, cosmic-tinged heaviness.
Abused Keyhole delivers stoner and doom metal from Naples since 2020, a city whose chaotic energy and ancient subterranean passages seem to feed their hazy, heavy sound. Their surreal name matches the lysergic quality of Neapolitan stoner doom.
Abysmal Darkening has crafted black and doom metal from Tilburg since 2011, contributing to the North Brabant city's vibrant metal scene that centers around the prestigious Roadburn Festival. Their fusion of black and doom metal suits Tilburg's identity as a pilgrimage site for underground heavy music.
