Blackened doom/death metal act from Memmingen, Germany, formed in 2021. Their suffocating blend of blackened atmosphere and doom-death heaviness creates a uniquely oppressive sonic landscape.
Thrash metal act from Middlesbrough in northeast England, active since 2013. Their threatening name suits over a decade of aggressive thrash forged in the industrial heartland of Teesside.
Minneapolis sludge and doom outfit Hatelimace wallow in the slow, corrosive weight of their craft, piling on suffocating riffs and feedback-caked heaviness that feels like the city's long winters given physical form.
Haunted Cenotaph is a death/doom metal band from Rzeszów, Poland, formed in 2018. They craft crushing doom-death compositions steeped in oppressive heaviness.
Haunted Crucifix is a stoner/doom metal band from Volos, Greece, active since 2021 and delivering crushing, fuzz-laden heaviness where doom's oppressive weight meets stoner metal's hazy grooves. The project channels low-end power and psychedelic atmosphere.
New Orleans sludge/doom outfit Hawg Jaw embody the Crescent City's grimy, humidity-soaked approach to heavy music — slow, churning, and perpetually on the verge of collapse in the best possible way. Since 2009 they've been one of the Bayou scene's more viscerally satisfying acts.
Power/thrash/doom metal band from Bremen, Germany, active since 2012. Their versatile sound spans the full range from power metal grandeur through thrash velocity to doom metal weight.
California stoner/doom outfit Hawnt deal in slow, narcotic riffs draped in reverb and psychedelic haze, the kind of music that turns a room dim and heavy. Active since 2015, their approach leans into the occult-tinged desert rock lineage without losing its own ghostly character.
Symphonic black/doom metal act from Innsbruck, Austria, formed in 2020. Their debut album Invocation, recorded at Village Road Studios and mastered at Kalthallen Studios, delivers eight tracks of blackened doom steeped in pagan themes across a weighty forty-one minutes.
