Doom metal band from Berlin, Germany, formed in 2020. They craft slow, heavy compositions exploring themes of chaos and dissolution.
Funeral doom act from Rivne in northwestern Ukraine, formed in 2023. Course of Sunrise crafts glacially slow, sorrowful doom infused with black metal atmospherics from the Volyn region.
Wisconsin doom metal act Court of Beasts play slow and heavy with a gothic undertone, building long-form compositions around crushing low-tuned riffs and atmosphere. Their Neenah home in the industrial Great Lakes region feeds the bleakness of their sound.
Doom metal band from Lower Saxony, Germany, formed in 2020. They deliver slow, crushing doom steeped in occult themes and ritualistic darkness.
Asheville, North Carolina's Covenator pair stoner metal's haze and warmth with doom metal's deliberate heaviness, crafting the kind of slow-burning music that fits the wooded mountains surrounding their city. Their riffs move like smoke — thick, slow, and hard to shake.
Long Beach stoner/doom act Covenaut traffic in fuzz-heavy riffs and slow grooves with a Southern California looseness. Their music is heavy but never punishing, built for listeners who want weight without sacrificing warmth.
Death-doom act from the small town of Donskoy in Tula Oblast, formed in 2020. COVID-19 — provocatively named after the pandemic — delivers crushing, morbid heaviness.
New York doom and sludge act that wallows in oppressive tempos and dense, distorted heaviness. Their sound sits at the intersection of grief and fury, slow-burning and suffocating.
Portland oddity blending power metal bombast with doom weight and grindcore aggression in ways that shouldn't work but somehow do. Their catalog is unpredictable and deliberately genre-defiant.
