Named after the tail-star of Leo, Derry, New Hampshire's Denebola launched in 2025 with a cosmically bleak convergence of doom, death, and black metal that suits the cold granite desolation of New England. Their multi-genre approach maps the boundaries between suffocating heaviness and icy atmosphere, suggesting a young band already comfortable in dark, expansive territory.
Denial of Existence is a death/doom metal band from the Dormagen/Elsdorf area of Germany, formed in 2023. They explore nihilistic themes through oppressive death/doom heaviness.

Denun is a gothic/doom metal band from Santiago, Chile, founded in 2001 by guitarist Claudio Molina and vocalist Paula Vilches, whose name derives from the Mapudungun phrase meaning "to do justice." The band released their debut album "Toluken" in 2005, appeared on Chilean metal compilations including "From The Land That God Forgot" (2006), and returned with their second full-length "Uroboros" in 2021. Their sound blends atmospheric doom with symphonic arrangements and female vocals sung in Spanish.
Deorum Inferus is a symphonic doom metal duo from Lamia and Karpenisi in Central Greece, featuring guitarist-vocalist Giannis Rizos and pianist-orchestrator Notis Tsigas (Dr. Radioactive). Their 2026 debut concept album Corpus Edimum explores Greek mythology, Gnosticism, and apocryphal eschatology, the first installment in a planned Trilogy of the Apocryphal Lost Knowledge.
Portland, Oregon's Depleted occupy the outer reaches of funeral doom, crafting music since 2018 that moves at geological pace beneath a suffocating weight of distortion and grief. Rooted in the Pacific Northwest's damp melancholy, their songs unfold as slow rituals — sustained tones and abyssal silence stretched to their absolute limit.
Depressed Mode is a symphonic death/doom metal band from Pori, Finland, active since 2007. They craft grandiose, melancholic compositions that blend symphonic beauty with crushing doom.
