Spirit Descent channel epic doom metal from Hamburg, building monumental, slow-motion compositions that descend into cavernous depths of heaviness. Active since 2010, they bring oceanic weight to the Hanseatic city's doom tradition.
Spirit Ruiner bring Belfast's trademark heaviness to doom and sludge metal, dealing in ponderous riffs and suffocating atmospheres since 2019. Their Northern Irish perspective adds a distinct bleakness to an already crushing sound.
Spiritual Void practice doom metal from the Lake Constance area, building ponderous, meditative compositions that explore the emptiness between matter and spirit. Active since 2017, their Alpine lake setting provides a contemplative backdrop for their crushing sound.
Spiritus Mortis are a respected Finnish doom metal act from the small Ostrobothnian town of Alavus, known for their traditional approach to the genre. Their doom metal draws on the classic Sabbathian tradition while incorporating Finnish melodic sensibility.
Krasnodar's Spitter pair sludge and doom metal from the Kuban capital since 2021. Their expectoration-themed name channels the visceral force of ejection into compositions of thick, corrosive southern Russian heaviness.
