Alcoholatry celebrates stoner and doom metal worship from Brno since 2013, their name combining alcohol with idolatry in a statement of devotional hedonism. The Moravian capital's vibrant underground scene supports their hazy, riff-centric liturgy.
Emerging from the mist-covered mountains of Asturias in 2018, Alder Tree weaves black metal's ferocity with doom metal's crushing weight into atmospheric compositions. The project channels northern Spain's rugged natural landscapes into a sound that shifts between blast-beat intensity and glacial, suffocating heaviness.
Aleph Null is a stoner sludge trio from Dusseldorf, Germany, featuring Philip on guitars and vocals, Carsten on bass, and Jens on drums. Their releases, including the EPs Dale and Belladonna and the full-lengths Nocturnal and Endtime Sisters, deliver the low-end heaviness and hazy intensity that define the stoner sludge sound.
Algos crafts epic doom metal from an undisclosed Italian location since 2014, their Greek name meaning 'pain' guiding compositions of vast, sorrowful heaviness. Their anonymous approach keeps the focus on the monumental weight of their slow-moving epics.
Alien Boys create doom metal with grunge influences from Hamburg since 2016. Their name evokes outsider identity, and their stylistic blend — merging doom's crushing weight with 1990s Seattle melancholy — sets them apart in the Hanseatic city's diverse music scene.
Alien Queen merges death and doom metal from London since 2018, their xenomorphic name evoking the iconic film franchise's ultimate predator. Their approach brings cinematic horror to the English capital's extreme metal landscape.
Brooklyn doom metal project named after the alchemical universal solvent. Music that dissolves everything it touches.
Alkemia creates death and doom metal from Uppsala since 2023. Their alchemical name drives compositions that transmute the dual heaviness of death and doom from Sweden's ancient university capital.
Alkimista crafts doom and death metal from Lisbon since 2018. Their Portuguese spelling of 'alchemist' connects to the country's Age of Discovery heritage while their sound transforms base heaviness into dark art.
