The Norwegian city of Bodø serves as headquarters for this doom metal and post-metal operation, whose arsenal includes cavernous low-end and hypnotic repetition. Each riff lands like a monolith dropped from orbit.
Stoner/doom metal band from Copenhagen, formed in 2016 and delivering heavy, fuzz-drenched compositions from the Danish capital. Their colossal name fits the massive, slow-grinding weight of their sound.
Stoner/doom/post-metal project from France, active since 2014 and blending three heavy styles into atmospheric, reptilian compositions. Their giant-lizard name channels the prehistoric weight and danger of their sound.
Post-metal and doom band from Newport, South Wales, formed in November 2016 by ex-members of Tradish and Desalvo. Their 2021 album Thy Kingdom Kong features seven extended compositions ranging from five to sixteen minutes, with additional synth work from Adam Wrench of HAAST.
Sludge doom metal band founded in 2004 in Sweden's Småland region, on hiatus since 2017 and returning in 2026. Their discography — Counting Heartbeats, Shadows of the Shapeless, and the 40-minute Sole Creation on Agonia Records — delivers crushing, atmospheric compositions in extended four-track formats.
Groove/doom metal band from Jyvaskyla, active since 2015 and merging groove metal's rhythmic punch with doom's crushing weight. Their strange, neologistic name matches the unconventional fusion at the core of their sound.
Pushing the boundaries of doom metal and stoner metal, this Russian outfit from Moscow has been refining their craft since 2025. Their sound hinges on amp-worshipping heaviness filtered through a THC-infused consciousness, delivered with ruthless intent.
All-female death/doom metal band from Copenhagen, formed in 2017 and delivering crushing, glacially paced compositions. Their sound pairs death metal's guttural ferocity with doom's monolithic weight, earning them recognition across the European underground.
Stoner/doom metal band from London, active since 2017 and dwelling in the heavy, fuzzed-out territory where stoner and doom converge. Their sound emphasizes massive distorted riffs and hypnotic, repetitive grooves.
