Lokeren, BE · 2017–present · active
Doom and death metal band from Lokeren, Belgium, active since 2017. They combine the crushing weight of doom with death metal's ferocity for a slow, punishing assault.
Wriezen, DE · 2008–present · active
German band from Wriezen, formed in 2008, whose sound evolved from doom/death metal origins toward a hard rock direction. Their stylistic shift reflects a journey from extreme metal heaviness to a more accessible sound.
Mannheim, DE · 2019–present · active
German doom/sludge metal band from Mannheim, formed in 2019, rising from the ashes of Black Shape of Nexus. Their unconventional two-bass, one-guitar, drums lineup creates what they call 'the total absence of tonal sanity' -- crushing, psychedelic doom-sludge of massive proportions.
Västra Götaland, SE · 2001–present · active
Doom metal outfit from Västra Götaland, formed in 2001. Their compositions stretch conventional structures to their limits, filling every measure with oppressive weight and deliberate, devastating momentum.

El Bierzo, ES · 2025–present · active
Spanish stoner/doom metal band from El Bierzo in León province, formed in 2025. They channel devilish stoner-doom from the mountainous mining region of northwestern Spain.
Kielce, PL · 2011–present · active
Kielce-based stoner/doom duo conjuring instrumental haze since 2008, building monolithic riff structures that burrow deep into the skull. Their hypnotic, weed-soaked jams and prolific output have made them a cult favorite in the European stoner doom underground.
SI · 2013–present · active
Slovenian doom/sludge outfit active since 2013, 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.
