Miami duo of Venezuelan origin playing epic, shifting doom and progressive metal that moves between trudging heaviness and soaring melodic passages, with deep operatic vocals and classical guitar grandeur reminiscent of Rainbow and early Rush.
Doom metal act from Umeå in northern Sweden, formed in 2020. Cavern Deep crafts cavernous, old-school doom from the land of the midnight sun.
Oshkosh's Cavernlight are a deeply mournful doom/drone/post-metal project whose music unfolds like an extended grief ritual — slow, crushing, and suffused with genuine desolation alongside acts like Thou and Bell Witch.
Rock Springs, Wyoming's Cavernlord operate in the raw space between black metal and doom, crafting cold, isolated music that reflects the barren, unforgiving landscape of the high desert.
Denver's Cavernous combine death and doom into slow, churning dirges built around crushing downtuned riffs, drawing on the death-doom lineage running from diSEMBOWELMENT through Evoken.
Black-doom metal project from Germany, formed in 2022. They merge the oppressive weight of doom with the icy darkness of black metal into a cavernous, atmospheric sound.
Bellingham's Cavurn move through death/doom at a glacial pace, letting riffs corrode and collapse under their own weight while gutturals push through the murk like something decomposing at depth.
Houston's Cavyrns blend doom metal's heavy, slow-moving gravity with progressive metal's compositional ambition, building songs that evolve deliberately through dynamics and tonal shifts.
Black-doom act from Istanbul, formed in 2023. Cazu merges atmospheric black metal with doom pacing from the Bosphorus city.
