Devastating Deathcore from San Antonio.
Murmansk's metal underground has produced no shortage of heavy acts, and this death metal and doom metal unit is among them — wielding HM-2 filth and d-beat fury in the old Swedish tradition. Their approach favors no-frills brutality over technical showmanship.
Maryland's Epistle write funeral doom as if constructing letters to the void — slow, deliberate, and weighted with unbearable sorrow. Out of Myersville since 2014, they embody the funeral doom tradition in its purest American expression.

Melodic death/doom metal band from Suceava in the Bukovina region of northeastern Romania, active since 2010. Their sound fuses melodic death metal with doom metal's crushing pace from the medieval Moldavian citadel town.
A product of the birthplace of heavy metal itself, this England-based doom metal and sludge metal act channels Southern-fried heaviness with hardcore punk's confrontational energy. Active since 2025, the combination of influences yields something more interesting than any single genre label implies.
Melodic death/doom metal act from Hoeilaart near Brussels, blending sorrowful melodies with crushing heaviness since 2015. Their fusion of melodic death metal's harmonic richness with doom's oppressive weight creates a distinctly emotive brand of extreme metal.
