Finnish sludge/doom/death metal band from Kitee, formed in 2018. They merge three crushing genres into a bloody, oppressive wall of sound from eastern Finland.
Athens-based doom metal act active since 2018, crafting monolithic compositions built on slow-burning riffs and an atmosphere of pervasive heaviness. Their patient approach to songwriting lets each chord ring with crushing finality.
Industrial, doom, and thrash metal hybrid from Zurich, Switzerland, active since 2014. They forge an unusual fusion of industrial harshness, doom's weight, and thrash metal's aggression.
London-based duo merging doom metal's crushing weight with post-black metal's atmospheric sweep since 2020. Their compositions drift between suffocating heaviness and ethereal expanses, evoking swampland desolation.
Doom metal outfit from Verona, formed in 2026. Their compositions stretch conventional structures to their limits, filling every measure with oppressive weight and deliberate, devastating momentum.
Abruzzo-based doom metal act active since 2025, crafting monolithic compositions built on slow-burning riffs and an atmosphere of pervasive heaviness. Their patient approach to songwriting lets each chord ring with crushing finality.
Funeral doom entity from Oslo, formed in 2002. Their compositions unfold over vast stretches of time, building cavernous walls of distorted guitar that press down with the weight of a collapsing universe.
Sundsvall-based stoner/doom outfit active since 2023, conjuring thick clouds of fuzz-laden riffage and hypnotic, groove-driven compositions. Their sound channels the haze of 1970s proto-metal through a modern lens of distortion-worship and lysergic exploration.
Czech sludge/doom metal band from Holešov, formed in 2014, incorporating drone and noise elements into their crushing sound. Their split release Fullmoon Alchemy Narcotic Session with DROM showcases their ritualistic approach to extreme heaviness.
