Portland doom metal project exploding onto the scene in 2025 with seven releases, including the politically charged Deep State Thrombosis. Their rapid-fire catalog of crushing doom suggests a band channeling the anxieties of the moment into slow-motion devastation.
Artifice crafts doom metal from the southwest London suburb of Surbiton since 2015, their name evoking skillful construction and deception. Over a decade of heavy, carefully crafted compositions reflect deep commitment to the genre.
Arvest creates death and doom metal from Tula since 2007. Nearly two decades from this armaments-industry city south of Moscow, they have forged a substantial body of dual-genre extremity.
As Autumn Dies... are a doom/death metal band from Switzerland, formed in 2001, whose sound combines the crushing weight of death metal with the slow, mournful tempos of doom.

As Darkness Fell is a melodic black/doom metal band from Buenos Aires that has been active since 2000, releasing the album Below the Fog in 2015 on Misanthropic Spirit Records. The record was driven by Hernan Figueredo on guitars, bass, and keyboards alongside vocalist Matias Herrera, crafting a cold, melancholic sound rooted in the Northern European black metal tradition.
As I Die crafts melodic death and doom metal from Sosnowiec in the Silesian conurbation since 2022. Their existential name drives compositions that pair Swedish-style melodic death with the ponderous weight of doom.
San Diego metalcore titans and one of the genre's most influential American acts.
