Dark Incognito plays melodic doom/death metal from Pleven in northern Bulgaria, blending mournful melodies with crushing heaviness. Active since 2011, they represent the Bulgarian extreme metal scene's quieter, more introspective wing.
Dark Intervals is a heavy/doom metal band from Oulu, Finland, active since 2011. They explore dark sonic intervals through heavy and doom metal from northern Finland.

Born in the Bronx in 2016, Dark Knights of the Soul fuse heavy and doom metal into something that carries the weight of New York City's streets — slow-burning, massive, and spiritually bleak.
Dark Matter is a doom metal band from Diss, England, active since 2010. They deliver dense, gravitational doom from the Norfolk countryside.
Dark Millennium is a German act from Bad Fredeburg whose roots stretch back to the early 1990s, playing a distinctive blend of progressive, death, and doom metal. They were part of the first wave of European progressive death metal, and their atmospheric, genre-blending approach remains as distinctive today as it was three decades ago.
Dark Mother is a stoner/doom metal band from Nottingham, England, formed in 2015. They deliver maternal heaviness through stoner and doom metal from the East Midlands.
Dark Nativity is a doom metal band from Styria, Austria, who released the EP Mercury in 2018 and a self-titled full-length in 2024. Their slow, heavy approach — heard on tracks like "Vertigo," "Wizard," and "Coventry" — sits within the traditional European doom tradition.
Dark Nazarian plays blackened doom metal from the oil city of Surgut in western Siberia, formed in 2022. Their Arctic-adjacent location lends genuine cold to compositions that merge black metal's atmospheric darkness with doom's glacial pace.
