Gothic/doom/death metal band from Rome, Italy, formed in 2021. Their oceanic name frames their blend of gothic atmosphere, doom metal's weight, and death metal's intensity from the Eternal City.
Gothenburg progressive doom metal act formed in 2020, applying progressive structures to doom metal's crushing weight. Emerging from a city synonymous with melodic death metal, their choice of progressive doom represents a deliberate departure from regional convention.
Sludge/doom metal band from Stockholm, Sweden, active since 2014. Their occult-tinged name accompanies crushing sludge and doom from the Swedish capital.
Zwolle melodic black/doom metal act active since 2014, pairing black metal's frigid atmosphere with doom's crushing deliberateness. Over a decade in the Overijssel capital, they have cultivated a distinctly melancholic style that favors mood over speed.
Psychedelic doom metal project from Paris, France, active since 2020. The project channels mind-expanding psychedelia through doom metal's crushing framework from the French capital.
Tallinn-based black/drone/doom metal project active since 2014, merging three of heavy music's most oppressive subgenres. Estonia's small but dedicated extreme metal scene produces acts of unusual ambition, and this project's genre-fusing approach exemplifies that tendency.
Atmospheric doom/death metal band from Rotterdam, the Netherlands, with roots dating to 1994 — one of the oldest acts on this list. Three decades of atmospheric doom-death make them a cornerstone of the Dutch extreme metal underground.
Stoner/doom/sludge metal band from Ternopil, western Ukraine, formed in 2024. Their triple-genre approach delivers maximum heaviness from the Galician city.
Funeral doom metal band from Warsaw, Poland, active since 2014. Their glacially paced compositions deliver crushing, slow-motion heaviness from the Polish capital.
