Bern, CH · 2018–present · active
Swiss atmospheric doom and post-metal trio from Bern, whose hypnotic, loop-based compositions oscillate between velvet darkness and flaring bursts of high energy. Their acclaimed albums "Maenad" and "Vexier" have been described as doomgaze, evoking shamanic rituals imbued with psychedelic colors across expansive, carefully crafted compositions.
Montijo, PT · 2014–present · active
Montijo's metal underground has produced no shortage of heavy acts, and this doom metal unit is among them — wielding Sabbathian worship filtered through decades of underground evolution. Patience is rewarded with crushing, cathartic payoffs.
Nuremberg, DE · 2005–present · active
Doom metal and hard rock act from the Nuremberg/Bamberg area of Bavaria, Germany, crafting heavy, blues-infused compositions since 2005. Their two-decade career reflects an enduring dedication to the slow-burning power of doom-laden hard rock.
Berlin, DE · 2013–present · active
Berlin-based sludge/doom trio likened to a nuclear-powered icebreaker, delivering mighty riffs, groove, and psychedelic heaviness since 2013. Their six-album catalog from "As If She Were a Black Bird" through 2024's "Soar" channels influences from Melvins, Mastodon, and Crowbar through a distinctly Berlin lens.
Paris, FR · 2018–present · active
Doom and stoner metal band from Paris, France formed in 2018. They conjure heavy, earth-shaking riffs with occult overtones from the French capital.
Kiel, DE · 2018–present · active
Self-proclaimed purveyors of "Dope Doom" and "Bong Metal" from Kiel, Germany, whose riff-worshipping stoner/doom metal has earned them a devoted following since 2018. Their discography from "One Earth One Bong" through "Church of Bong" embraces the ritualistic side of stoner doom with a tongue-in-cheek spirit.
Helsinki, FI · 2013–present · active
Doom metal band from Helsinki, Finland active since 2013. They craft heavy, low-end doom from the Finnish capital.
Ånge, SE · 2015–present · active
When Eartheater emerged in 2015 from Ånge, they brought with them a sound rooted in doom metal and stoner metal — all desert-baked tonality and psychedelic haze over lumbering rhythms. The combination of influences yields something more interesting than any single genre label implies.
West Yorkshire, GB · 2016–present · active
Doom and stoner metal band from West Yorkshire, England active since 2016. They channel heavy, ritualistic doom from the Yorkshire hills.
