(0) is a Danish extreme metal band operating in the space between death metal, doom metal, and post-metal. Signed to Napalm Records, the band layers crushing low-end riffs with atmospheric, expansive passages characteristic of the post-metal tradition. Their approach places them within a lineage of Scandinavian bands pushing the boundaries between heaviness and texture.

Formed in Freiburg im Breisgau in 2018, A Ghost in Rags play instrumental post-metal that blends post-rock dynamics with doom heaviness, black metal riffing, and sludge undertow. Their debut album Akarano arrived in June 2022, followed by the announcement of their second full-length Solfatara for release in June 2025, both demonstrating the band's commitment to slow-unfolding, structure-defying compositions.

Post-hardcore and sludge/post-metal band from Lausanne, Switzerland, signed to Pelagic Records and known for dense, slow-burning compositions that blend doom, black metal, and post-rock dynamics.

Absent in Body is a Belgian post-metal supergroup formed in 2017 by Amenra guitarist Mathieu Vandekerckhove and vocalist Colin H. van Eeckhout alongside Neurosis vocalist Scott Kelly and former Sepultura drummer Iggor Cavalera. Their debut album Plague God, released in 2022 on Season of Mist, melds post-metal, drone, sludge, and EBM into five sprawling compositions that draw on each member's history in confrontational, ceremony-driven heavy music. The project is deliberately collaborative and sparse, functioning as a slow-moving, ritualistic extension of the members' respective primary bands.

Abysslooker crafts doom and post-metal from Samara since 2020. Their name — one who gazes into the abyss — invokes the Nietzschean warning that drives their contemplative Volga-born heaviness.
