Black metal and drone project from Bremen, Germany, blending the tremolo-picked fury of black metal with the sustained, hypnotic textures of drone since 2018. Their name, German for "ebb" or "low tide," evokes the receding, desolate atmosphere of their sound.
Psychedelic doom band from Brussels, Belgium, whose debut album is a single forty-eight-minute composition born from two years dedicated to space and heavy music. Their sound merges stoner metal, doom, and space rock into an exhausting, amped-up journey through vast sonic landscapes.
When Echoes of Yul emerged in 2009 from Opole, they brought with them a sound rooted in doom metal, drone metal, and post-metal — all funeral-paced heaviness dripping with existential dread. Their compositions unfold like tectonic shifts — slow, inevitable, devastating.
Drone doom duo from Jyvaskyla, Finland active since 2012, featuring two bass players and drums. They describe their sound as crushing and groovy stoner doom powered by two distorted, fuzzy bass guitars.
Straddling the line between doom metal and drone metal, this Latvian act fuses glacial, punishment-dealing grooves wallowing in distortion into a cohesive whole. They've been at it since 2021, and uncompromising in their vision, they deliver exactly what their audience demands.
Black metal and drone act from A Coruna in Galicia, northwestern Spain, merging raw black metal with sustained, hypnotic drone textures since 2013. Their approach creates an immersive, radiating darkness from Spain's Atlantic coast.
Black/drone/doom metal act from the ancient city of Worms, Germany, fusing three of heavy music's most oppressive subgenres since 2010. Their name, ironically meaning "empathy" in German, contrasts with the crushing, misanthropic weight of their sound.
Doom, drone, and sludge metal band from Bordeaux, France formed in 2016, affiliated with Dry Cough Records and several other labels. Their six-release catalog includes Circle the Gold and the split with Uur, delivering crushing heaviness from southwestern France.
Avant-garde doom, drone, and post-metal project from Finland launched in 2025. They push boundaries across multiple heavy subgenres with an experimental, boundary-dissolving approach.
