Roswell, Georgia's Eyes of Ligeia are one of the American underground's longest-running doom/black metal acts, active since 1999 and taking their name from an Edgar Allan Poe story. Over the decades they have evolved from death/doom origins toward a more spectral black metal approach, accumulating a body of work marked by atmosphere, patience, and genuine darkness.
Södermanland-based doom metal and stoner metal act, active since 2023 delivering wah-soaked leads and bass-heavy grooves in the tradition of Kyuss and Sleep. Rooted in Sweden's legendary metal infrastructure, uncompromising in their vision, they deliver exactly what their audience demands.
Formed in 2017, this England Doom Metal and Drone Metal outfit delivers glacial tempos and crushing, monolithic riffs. Their place within the UK's ever-evolving heavy music tradition speaks to the depth of the region's heavy music culture.
Bath-based doom metal and sludge metal act, active since 2017 delivering glacial, punishment-dealing grooves wallowing in distortion. Rooted in Britain's endlessly regenerating metal lineage, uncompromising in their vision, they deliver exactly what their audience demands.
Drawing from Riga's musical fabric, this Latvian act forges Doom Metal, Funeral Doom Metal, and Post-Metal built on Eyehategod-indebted misery channeled through crushing volume. Their approach balances aggression with genuine musical substance.
Atmospheric doom/death metal band from Pombal in central Portugal, active since 2018. Their sound blends doom metal's crushing weight with death metal aggression and atmospheric depth from the Leiria district.
Doom, sludge, and stoner metal band from Helsinki, Finland active since 2014. They bring fuzzy, heavy riffing and slow-burning heaviness from the Finnish capital.
