Doom/sludge metal act from Szeged, formed in 2018. Their music lurches forward with deliberate, oppressive weight, burying the listener beneath layers of corroded guitar tone.
Kyiv-based stoner/doom outfit active since 2015, conjuring thick clouds of fuzz-laden riffage and hypnotic, groove-driven compositions. Their sound channels the haze of 1970s proto-metal through a modern lens of distortion-worship and lysergic exploration.
Vila do Conde-based one-man funeral doom project of the enigmatic DM, active since 2005, distinguished by the unusual incorporation of clean vocals into glacially paced compositions. Across three full-length albums including Passage and Beyond, the project explores themes of nature and solitude through drone-tinged funeral doom that stands apart from the genre's guttural conventions.
Treviso-based doom metal act active since 2021, crafting monolithic compositions built on slow-burning riffs and an atmosphere of pervasive heaviness. Their patient approach to songwriting lets each chord ring with crushing finality.
Bryansk-based doom metal act active since 2023, crafting monolithic compositions built on slow-burning riffs and an atmosphere of pervasive heaviness. Their patient approach to songwriting lets each chord ring with crushing finality.
Konya-based doom metal act active since 2018, crafting monolithic compositions built on slow-burning riffs and an atmosphere of pervasive heaviness. Their patient approach to songwriting lets each chord ring with crushing finality.
Spanish band from Barcelona, formed in 2016, whose sound evolved from post-metal and rock toward progressive sludge/doom/post-metal. Their expanding sonic palette reflects a deepening commitment to heaviness and complexity.
Doom/sludge metal act from Bury St. Edmunds, formed in 2021. Their music lurches forward with deliberate, oppressive weight, burying the listener beneath layers of corroded guitar tone.
