Milwaukee death/doom project. The oxymoronic name — suicide cannot be accidental — creates productive unease from Beer City.
Accursed Womb is a doom and death metal band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. With eight releases between 2020 and 2024, the band has been a prolific force in the Philly underground, grinding out crushing doom-death that reflects the city's gritty extreme metal tradition.
New Orleans death/doom project. The opposite of their sonic cousins Acid Bath — creation through corrosion from the Crescent City.
Act of Impalement is a doom/death metal band from Nashville, Tennessee. With five releases to their name, the band has established a formidable presence in the Southern doom-death scene, grinding out slow-motion devastation with a distinctly Southern heaviness.
Akem Manah is a doom/death metal band that started in Seattle before relocating to Eugene, Oregon. Named after a Zoroastrian demon of evil intent, the band's 2024 remastered full-length "The Testament of Sealant Mound" delivers crushing doom-death steeped in ancient mythological themes.
New Jersey death/doom project whose 2023 debut Deathcult Resurrection deals in the genre's most oppressive extremes. Glacial pacing meets guttural fury, conjuring the ritualistic atmosphere their name demands.
Boston death/doom project with six releases since 2020, including demos, compilations, and charity releases. Their involvement in the ABR community and benefit compilations reveals a band deeply embedded in New England's heavy underground, using doom's crushing weight for more than just sonic punishment.
