Alucarda is a doom metal and punk band from Copenhagen, Denmark, formed in 2013, named after the 1977 Mexican horror film, blending fuzz-drenched heaviness with garage rock energy and punk attitude. Their releases D.F.F.L and Raw Howls deliver a raw, distortion-soaked approach to heavy music.
Alunah channels doom and stoner metal from Birmingham since 2020, continuing the Second City's proud tradition of heavy, riff-driven music pioneered by Black Sabbath. Their sound connects directly to the birthplace of doom metal itself.
Athens' Amalphi generate thick, fuzz-drenched doom and stoner metal built on massive riffs and hypnotic grooves. Since 2019, they've been crafting a haze of psychedelic heaviness that nods to the genre's desert rock roots.
Amalthea has evolved from atmospheric death and doom metal into alternative rock territory from Murcia since their most recent incarnation in 2025. Named after the goat that nursed infant Zeus, their stylistic metamorphosis reflects the nourishing, transformative power of their Mediterranean setting.
Winchester, Virginia doom merchants conjuring heavy, psychedelia-laced riffs since 2017. Named after the genus of poisonous mushrooms, their catalog sprawls across multiple EPs and full-lengths that explore the intersection of crushing weight and hypnotic repetition, from the lysergic haze of Love³ to the pandemic-era Quarantine in Warm.
Amber Streams from Søl crafts doom, death, and post-metal from Baden-Württemberg since 2023. Their poetic name, mixing English with the Scandinavian spelling of 'sun,' signals a meditative approach to heavy music that prioritizes atmosphere over aggression.
Providence doom architects crafting eccentric, lumbering heaviness since 2011. Named after the waxy substance found in whale intestines, their music shares that quality of being simultaneously repulsive and fascinating — albums like Snake Music and Militant Statuettes pair crushing riffs with an art-damaged sensibility unique to Rhode Island's underground.
Death/doom metal band from Switzerland, whose Bandcamp presence places them in the slow, heavy intersection of death and doom metal. They operate in the underground Swiss metal scene, crafting dense, suffocating material in the death-doom tradition.
Amederia creates gothic and doom metal from Naberezhnye Chelny in Tatarstan since 2008. Nearly two decades from this Kama River industrial city, they have crafted darkly romantic compositions in a multinational cultural setting.
