Crust punk and doom metal band from Dublin, Ireland formed in 2023. They bring raw, heavy crust-doom from the Irish capital.
Practitioners of doom metal and stoner metal, this Polish outfit from Warsaw has been refining their craft since 2024. Their sound hinges on amp-worshipping heaviness filtered through a THC-infused consciousness, delivered with militant precision.
Avant-garde doom, drone, and post-metal project from Finland launched in 2025. They push boundaries across multiple heavy subgenres with an experimental, boundary-dissolving approach.
Waukegan, Illinois's Enthrall has been grinding out death metal since 1993, accumulating three decades of experience that show in a sound which is efficient, undecorated, and thoroughly seasoned. Longevity in this genre is its own kind of credibility.
Lodi-based black metal, doom metal, and funeral doom metal act, active since 2012 delivering dissonant chord progressions shrouded in reverb-drenched malice. Rooted in the Mediterranean peninsula's diverse metal ecosystem, atmosphere and hostility share equal billing in their work.
New Haven's Entierro began as a stoner/doom outfit before steering toward heavier traditional metal, a trajectory that reflects a band constantly testing what it means to be heavy — slow and hazy one era, riff-forward and purposeful the next. Active since 2014.
Vienna, Virginia's Entongue blends death and doom into a suffocating combination since 2022, letting funeral-paced heaviness collide with the morbid drive of death metal in a way that makes each track feel like a slow descent into something inescapable.
Omaha's Entranced has been weaving progressive gothic and doom metal together since 2021, building a sound that's as emotionally nuanced as it is heavy — mournful melodies, shifting dynamics, and a songwriting sensibility that favors atmosphere over brute force.
Doom/death metal band from Gomel, Belarus, merging oppressive slowness with guttural death metal ferocity since 2013. Their sound reflects the bleak, heavy atmosphere that defines the doom/death crossover tradition.
