Funeral doom/black metal project from Leipzig, Germany, formed in 2019. Named after the ancient Greek philosopher of pessimism, they create devastatingly slow, misanthropic music that merges funeral doom's crushing weight with black metal's cold despair.
Melodic death metal act from Birmingham, active since 2009. Their macabre name belies melodic sensibilities that blend death metal aggression with the songwriting heritage of Britain's metal birthplace.
Crossover thrash act from Järvenpää near Helsinki, active since 2011. Their sound blends aggressive thrash metal with crossover punk energy from the Finnish southern underground.
Hirjä is a raw black/funeral doom metal project from Grand Est, France, active since 2024 and crafting glacially slow, suffocating heaviness at the most oppressive tempos in extreme metal. The project plumbs the depths of despair through crushing, extended compositions.
Hjarnidaudi is a drone/funeral doom metal band from Oslo, Norway, formed in 2006. They craft glacially paced funeral doom of devastating heaviness.
Heavy metal act from the small Finnish town of Akaa, flying the flag of traditional metal since 2015. Their genre-declaring name matches a straightforward commitment to classic heavy metal.
