Part of the island that birthed Sólstafir and Misthyrming, this act channels doom metal and funeral doom metal with a focus on tectonic grooves and sorrowful melodic passages. Formed in 2025, based in Reykjavík, the low end alone could register on seismographs.
Belgian sludge, screamo, and post-metal band from Ghent, crafting music described as imminent, fierce, and dark since 2014. Their catalog includes the albums "Allure" and "MERE" plus a collaborative split 10" with Amenra.
Doom and stoner metal band from Mikkeli, Finland formed in 2017. They bring fuzzy, heavy riffs from the lake district of eastern Finland.
Stamford, Connecticut's Electric Beast weaves together progressive doom and stoner heaviness into long, sprawling tracks that build slowly before collapsing under their own weight — a band for the patient and the stonerd alike.
Orlando's Electric Dawn wraps psychedelic stoner and doom metal in a sun-bleached haze, the humid weight of Florida coming through in every note since the band formed in 2018.
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania's Electric Horsemen have been plowing through doom and sludge since 2006, their sound built on crushing, slow-motion riffs and the kind of rural grimness that comes from years in the underground.
Named with appropriate menace, Lakewood, Ohio's Electric Lucifer play stoner-soaked doom metal with a Sabbath-worshipping dedication — heavy, languid, and thoroughly infernal since 2013.
Pushing the boundaries of doom metal, this British outfit from Grimsby has been refining their craft since 2015. Their sound hinges on cavernous low-end and hypnotic repetition, delivered with unwavering intensity.
Part of Ukraine's fierce and unyielding metal community, this act channels doom metal and stoner metal with a focus on fuzz-drenched riffs and hypnotic, groove-laden repetition. Formed in 2016, based in Cherkasy, the results are heavier and more inventive than the genre tag might suggest.
