Drawing from the contemplative side of black metal, this Russian project channels Kemerovo's spirit into sweeping, atmosphere-laden compositions. Since 2017, their recordings balance raw aggression with passages of fragile, melancholic beauty.
French sludge/post-black metal band from Metz in Lorraine, formed in 2013. They merge sludge metal's toxic weight with post-black metal's atmospheric scope.
Sludge metal band from Southend-on-Sea, formed in 2021. They bring crushing, abrasive sludge to the Essex coastal underground.
Roermond-based doom/sludge outfit active since 2009, dragging their compositions through a swamp of distortion, feedback, and crushing tempos. Their sound sits at the punishing intersection where doom metal's patience meets sludge's confrontational aggression.
Doom/sludge metal power trio from Exeter, formed in 2025, drawing from Crowbar, Eyehategod, Bolt Thrower, and Black Sabbath. Their early demos deliver crushing South West sludge with riffs that span the spectrum from classic doom to death metal weight.
French stoner/sludge metal band from Castelfranc in Lot, formed in 2010. They deliver heavy stoner-sludge from the remote rural southwest of France.
