Asheville's Low Earth orbit the border between doom and traditional heavy metal, drawing on the Blue Ridge Mountains' gloom for a sound that's both earthy and oppressive.
Crushing Doom / Post-Metal out of Texas.
Low Levels of Serotonin is a melodic death/doom metal project from Americana, São Paulo, Brazil, led by multi-instrumentalist Wilian Gonçalves, formerly the guitarist of Desdominus. The band released their debut album Katharsis in 2019 through Heavy Metal Rock Records, followed by a second album, In the Entrails of My Mind, in 2022. Their sound combines heavy, melancholic riffing with introspective lyrics and significant tempo variation across both records.
French stoner/doom metal band from Strasbourg, formed in 2020 and delivering fuzz-drenched heaviness. Their name captures the low-frequency, bass-heavy character of their stoner doom approach.
British doom metal band from Colchester, delivering crushing, slow-tempo heaviness since 2016. Their name suggests the clear, crystalline quality that balances the dense weight of their doom metal.
Lucifer was founded in Berlin in 2014 by German vocalist Johanna Sadonis following the dissolution of her previous band The Oath, initially delivering a sound rooted heavily in occult doom metal before gradually broadening toward 1970s-influenced heavy rock. The band has released five studio albums in a numbered series—Lucifer I through Lucifer V (2024)—each refining the balance between vintage hard rock atmosphere and doom-laden heaviness. Sadonis remains the sole constant member, with Swedish guitarist Nicke Andersson of The Hellacopters having co-founded and shaped the early sound before departing.
New York's Lucifer Jones have been threading doom, heavy metal, and punk together since 1995, with a street-worn irreverence that keeps even the heaviest riffs from taking themselves too seriously.
Stuttgart-based stoner/doom metal and rock duo featuring Louve La Nuit on vocals and MorighosT on all instruments, debuting with 'Love, Music, Lucifer' in 2020. Their eight-track album ranges from compact rockers to an epic near-nine-minute closer, blending occult themes with doom and stoner grooves.
Lucifer's Doom is a black/doom metal band from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, active since 2015. The band released a self-titled EP in June 2015, a three-track CDr debut that blends avant-garde black metal atmospherics with mournful doom sensibilities. Their sound features high baritone vocals over heavy, slow-burning riffs with lyrical themes drawn from Christian eschatology.
