Sacral Kingdom produces funeral doom metal interwoven with dungeon synth from Scotland, formed in 2024. Their regal name frames compositions of oppressive slowness and medieval atmosphere, channeling Scotland's castle-studded landscape into sonic form.
Originally from Yerevan, Armenia, with subsequent connections to Russia, Austria, and the United States, Sadael is a one-man death/funeral doom metal project spanning a prolific catalog that includes full-lengths such as "Paralytic Thrall," "Deep Sleepers," and "Elysian Reverie: A Sonata of Shadows." The project consistently explores themes of grief, dissolution, and existential darkness through slow, suffocating arrangements punctuated by melodic guitar passages.
Turin's Scent of Darkness deliver funeral doom of glacial pace since 2020. Their Piedmontese origins in Italy's automotive capital contrast sharply with music that moves at the slowest possible velocity.

Active since 2008, they've built an international reputation for their uncompromising approach to sonic extremity.
Austrian funeral doom metal project from the rural village of Sankt Koloman, crafting glacially slow, crushing compositions since 2013. Their sound embraces the genre's characteristic monolithic riffs and suffocating atmospheres, drawing on themes of isolation mirrored by their remote alpine origins.
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.
Shades of Deep Water have been crafting funeral doom metal from Jyvaskyla since 2007, building glacially paced compositions that evoke the depths of Finland's countless lakes. Their nearly two decades of aquatic doom represent one of the scene's more evocative projects.
Shape of Despair are one of Finland's most acclaimed atmospheric/funeral doom metal acts, crafting vast, slow-motion soundscapes from Helsinki that channel profound desolation. Their albums have earned them a devoted international following for their ability to transform despair into monumentally beautiful compositions.
Tyumen's Shine My Boregarden merge black, doom, and funeral doom from the Western Siberian oil capital since 2026. Their paradoxical name of illuminating tedium channels the monotony of the Siberian steppe into compositions of glacial extremity.
