Örsundsbro, SE · 2019–present · active
Swedish doom/death metal duo singing exclusively in Swedish, formed in 2019 around songwriter Reese's vision for atmospheric death-doom with cinematic production.

Athenian sludge/doom metal band self-described as having been "born, bred, drunk and stoned in Athens, Greece," active for over a decade since 2013. Their self-titled album was released on Fuzz Ink Records, channeling heavy sludge, stoner, and doom through the gritty lens of the Greek underground.
Lower Saxony, DE · 2023–present · active

Norway — death metal and doom metal of the most uncompromising kind. Active since 2024, they deal in percussive blast-beat onslaughts and cavernous production. Low-tuned guitars and guttural vocals form the bedrock of their attack.
Leeds, GB · 2025–present · active
