Doom and sludge metal band from Barcelona, Spain formed in 2012, with releases including Cabeza de Vaca and a contribution to October Dust, a Spanish tribute to Peter Steele. Their heavy, crushing sound pays homage to the titans of doom.
When Evilized emerged in 2007 from Racibórz, they brought with them a sound rooted in doom metal and gothic metal — all beauty-and-the-beast vocal contrasts over darkly atmospheric arrangements. The combination of influences yields something more interesting than any single genre label implies.
Death/doom metal act from Murcia, Spain formed in 2016, with members Sacrilegio, Santo Oficio, and Podredumbre. Their 2016 debut was recorded analogically in winter 2015 and released on limited cassette through Caligari Records.
Death/doom metal band from the small Austrian town of Weiz, fusing crushing low-end heaviness with mournful, glacial tempos since 2012. Their approach to death/doom draws on the genre's Scandinavian roots while filtering it through an Austrian lens.
Straddling the line between death metal and doom metal, this Swedish act fuses technically precise fretwork wrapped in visceral brutality into a cohesive whole. They've been at it since 2021, and their recordings carry the stench of early 90s death metal worship.
Drone/doom metal act from Berlin, Germany, crafting hypnotic, sustained heaviness since 2013. Their approach channels the immersive, meditative quality of drone into doom metal's crushing framework.
Novosibirsk-based act active since 2008, evolving from gothic/doom/death metal origins into a heavier stoner/doom/death metal direction. Their stylistic evolution reflects a deepening commitment to crushing, riff-driven heaviness from Siberia's largest city.
Oldenzaal, Netherlands — death metal and doom metal of the most uncompromising kind. Active since 2018, they deal in punishing grooves interlocked with frenzied tremolo passages. Primal ferocity drives every note of their catalog.
Lovecraft-devoted death/doom metal cult from Florence, Italy formed in 2008, self-described as "the ultimate preaching cult devoted to the Prophet H.P. Lovecraft." Their 2011 demo Mystical Madness — recorded at Inferno Studio in Florence and limited to 50 tape copies via Ordo MCM — channels Cthulhu mythos through downtuned death/doom across three extended tracks.
