Buffalo death-doom and groove metal band pulling from multiple heavy subgenres to craft dense, lurching compositions. They sit at a bleak crossroads where different strains of heaviness collide.
Doom and stoner metal band from A Coruna, Spain, formed in 2019. They deliver thick, fuzz-laden doom with stoner grooves from the Galician coast.
Funeral doom metal band from Seville, Spain, formed in 2022. They craft glacially slow, oppressively heavy doom from the Andalusian capital.
Klamath Falls, Oregon's Crypt Dweller merge death metal's brutality with doom metal's glacial, oppressive pacing. Their songs sink low and slow, pausing only to crush harder.
Doom-sludge act from Moscow, active since 2013. Crypt Jaintor delivers crushing, slow-burning heaviness from the Russian capital.
Springfield, Missouri's Crypt Key combine death metal aggression with doom's slow, dragging tempos into a sound that's simultaneously crushing and suffocating. Their compositions shift between outright violence and funereal crawl.
Black-doom metal band from Liverpool, England, active since 2013. They merge the icy darkness of black metal with crushing doom from Merseyside.
Progressive death-doom band from Gomel, Belarus, formed in 2008. Their 2024 debut album Stargazer, praised by Metal Hammer UK and No Clean Singing as vast and astonishingly heavy, was completed posthumously from drafts left by founding songwriter Pavel.
Death-doom act from Ivano-Frankivsk in the Carpathian foothills of western Ukraine, active since 2014. Crypt of Silence merges crushing death metal with doom pacing from the Prykarpattia region.
