Black/doom metal project from Leipzig, Germany, merging the atmospheric bleakness of black metal with doom's crushing weight since 2020. Their Latin name, meaning "destruction of oneself," reflects the self-destructive, nihilistic core of their sound.
A product of Poland's titan-grade death metal scene, this Kraków-based black metal, death metal, and doom metal act channels frigid atmospherics and razor-wire guitar tone. Active since 2014, blast beats and shrieked vocals create an impenetrable wall of darkness.
Doom, drone, and sludge metal band from Helsinki, Finland active since 2012. They craft massive, low-frequency heaviness through drone-laden doom from the Finnish capital.
Exortta is a symphonic black/doom metal band from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, Brazil, playing in the Christian unblack metal tradition. The band released their debut album "Last Called" in 2015, later remastered and reissued in 2020 through Vision of God Records, and contributed the track "David's Lyre" to the Brazilian extreme metal compilation "Evig Mørke Collection Vol. I" in 2017.
Doom, drone, and sludge metal project from Finland, active since 2013. They explore the heaviest, slowest extremes of metal through crushing drone-doom.
Genoese heavy metal act originally established in 1990 and resurrected with vocalist Jason (ex-Ulfe, ex-Sacradis), guitarists Massimo Malachina, bassist G.B Malachina, and drummer Maurizio Solarino. Their Crimson Evil Eyes EP revives old-school '90s evil metal inspired by King Diamond, Mercyful Fate, and Candlemass, blending gothic doom with classic heavy metal theatrics.
Long Island's Exsanguinated traffic in death-doom, the slowest and most suffocating corner of extreme metal, building cavernous compositions since 2021 that weaponize tempo against the listener. The subgenre's combination of death metal heaviness and doom's crushing patience is a natural fit for a band clearly interested in maximum atmospheric impact.
Black/doom metal project from Hagglingen, Switzerland, blending the atmospheric cold of black metal with doom's crushing weight since 2015. Their Latin name, meaning "drained of blood," captures the lifeless, suffocating atmosphere of their sound.
