Doomed Spirits is a one-man black/death/doom metal project from João Pessoa, Paraíba, created by musician Mad Ferreira (also known from Ode Insone and Etheralys). The project released its debut album "Last Reflections" in May 2020, a dark and heavy work with eight tracks exploring themes of despair and mortality through a blend of doom and death metal textures with black metal overtones.
Doomgiver is a black/death/pagan metal band from Brunswick, Germany, active since 2013. They weave pagan themes through a formidable blend of black and death metal.
Doomguard plays black metal from Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan, formed in 2025 and stationed at the intersection of Slavic and Tatar cultural traditions. Their sentinel name suggests guardianship of darkness — protectors of black metal's malevolent flame.
Seattle's DoomHawk have been one of the Pacific Northwest's most eclectic extreme metal acts since 2007, weaving folk instrumentation through the twin brutalities of death and black metal to conjure something genuinely strange and ancient-feeling. Their long tenure in Seattle's heavy underground spans nearly two decades, giving them a maturity and stylistic range few local contemporaries can match. The folk elements add an earthy, pagan quality that cuts against the genre's more urban and industrial impulses.
Doomnivorous plays black/death metal from the Sakha Republic (Yakutia) in Siberia's remote northeast, formed in 2024. Their extreme isolation — the Sakha Republic is the coldest inhabited region on Earth — makes them one of the most geographically remote extreme metal acts anywhere.
Doomoniac is a black metal band from Granollers, Spain, active since 2014. They channel demonic doom through black metal from the Catalan interior.
Doomsday is a death/black metal band from Santiago, Chile, with a lineup featuring vocalist Valerie Kilgore, guitarists Vik and Peracles, bassist The Hund, and drummer Mr. Julivs. The band plays blackened death metal and has maintained an active presence in the Santiago underground scene since their formation in 2021.
Doomsday Cult plays black metal from Omsk in western Siberia, formed in 2024 and channeling apocalyptic fanaticism through atmospheric compositions. Their name's religious-extremism imagery drives music devoted to the worship of endings.
Doomslaughter is a black-death metal band from Minsk, Belarus, whose 2018 EP 'Impure Devastation Mass' features two tracks of crushing extremity mixed at Resonance Sound Studio. Their sound fuses the raw chaos of black metal with death metal's punishing heaviness.
