Tver's Septic Mind have delivered funeral doom of agonizing slowness since 2010. Their diseased-consciousness name and location between Moscow and Petersburg channel the psychological weight of isolation into compositions of glacial extremity.
Septiembre Negro ("Black September") channel doom and sludge metal from Fuenlabrada near Madrid, building crushing compositions with politically charged overtones. Formed in 2023, they bring heavy, deliberate darkness to the Madrid metropolitan area.
Stockholm's Sepulchral Frost pair death and doom metal from the Swedish capital since 2019. Their frozen-tomb name channels the ice forming on burial chambers into compositions of frigid, crushing duality.
Lodi's Sepulchral Void craft doom metal of abyssal depth since 2015. Their name combines funerary imagery with nothingness, and their sound accordingly inhabits a space of overwhelming emptiness and weight.
Seraphim craft doom/death/gothic metal from Wiesloch in Baden-Wurttemberg, blending angelic imagery with crushing heaviness and dark romanticism. Their triple-genre approach creates a rich, multi-layered sound that draws from each style's strengths.
Seremonia blend psychedelic rock with doom metal from the Finnish underground, creating a retro-tinged hybrid of occult heaviness and cosmic exploration. Active since 2014, they bring vintage psychedelic sensibility to the Finnish doom scene.
Serpent God forge death/doom metal from the eastern Finnish town of Iisalmi, channeling the worship of serpentine deities through crushing, deliberate compositions. Emerging in 2025, they bring ophidian devotion to the Savo-region doom scene.
Stockholm's Serpent Omega pair sludge and doom metal from the Swedish capital since 2013. Their name combining the serpent with the final Greek letter channels apocalyptic reptilian menace into over a decade of crushing compositions.
Rooted in Toulon's sun-baked Mediterranean coast, Serpent View has been churning out thick, resinous stoner/sludge/doom metal since 2014. Their sound contrasts the region's seaside warmth with crushing, low-tuned heaviness and crawling tempos.
