Ohio raw black metal project steeped in deliberate lo-fi ugliness and a deeply underground aesthetic. Murky, buzzing, and cold, with little interest in accessibility or polish.
Richmond, Virginia stoner doom act built on hazy, heavy riffs and a ritualistic sense of groove. Their material draws on the Southern rock warmth that has long defined the Virginia heavy underground.
Abilene doom band carving slow, desolate heaviness from the flat, sun-scorched landscape of West Texas. Their riffs move like heat shimmer — languid, distorted, and quietly menacing.
Doom and stoner metal band from Helsinki, Finland, active since 2012. They deliver crushing, psychedelic doom-stoner from the Finnish capital.
Death-doom-gothic metal band from Leipzig, Germany, active since 1995. With three decades of history, Cracked Corpuscles are veterans of the Saxon extreme metal scene, blending gothic atmospheres with crushing death-doom.
Doom and stoner metal band from Turku, Finland, active since 2013. They craft thick, fuzz-drenched doom-stoner from Finland's oldest city.
Doom-thrash metal band from Forssa, Finland, active since 2013. They blend the crushing weight of doom with thrash metal speed.
Atlanta doom and sludge outfit dragging Southern heaviness through thick walls of distortion and oppressive low-end. Their sound draws from both the misery of doom and the grimed-out grit of the ATL underground.
San Antonio trio fusing black metal's cold menace with the suffocating weight of doom and sludge. Their music moves with deliberate malice, rooted deep in the South Texas underground.
