Örebro doom metal/hard rock act channeling vintage 1970s Sabbathian doom with a classic rock swagger. Their retro-leaning approach draws from the deepest wells of proto-doom and early heavy metal tradition.
German doom/sludge/stoner metal band from Berlin, formed in 2021. They channel gloomy sludge-doom with stoner metal's hazy riffs from the capital.
Doom/sludge metal act from Leeds, formed in 2023. Their music lurches forward with deliberate, oppressive weight, burying the listener beneath layers of corroded guitar tone.
Athens-based doom metal act active since 2014, 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.
Oslo-based stoner/doom outfit active since 2024, 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.
German heavy/doom metal band from Marburg, formed in 2024. They merge traditional heavy metal with doom metal's crushing weight.
Stoner doom act from Coimbra, formed in 2016. Their music moves at a glacial pace through layers of fuzz and psychedelic textures, inviting the listener into a trance-like state of heavy meditation.
Tolentino (Macerata)-based doom/sludge outfit active since 2021, dragging their compositions through a swamp of distortion, feedback, and crushing tempos. Their sound sits at the punishing intersection where doom metal's patience meets sludge's confrontational aggression.
