London-based avant-garde black/doom metal band active since 2013, self-described as 'Metal's soundtrack to dystopia' on Debemur Morti Productions. Their five-album catalog from 'Lychgate' through 'Precipice' pushes black and doom metal into cerebral, experimental territory.
Finnish heavy/doom metal band from Kantala, active since 2019 and performing in Finnish. Their name, meaning 'lead company,' evokes the dense, leaden weight of their doom-infused heavy metal.
Italian stoner/doom metal band from Asti in Piedmont, delivering hazy heaviness since 2001. Their deliberately misspelled name, combining 'wisdom' with 'doom,' reflects over two decades of groove-laden stoner doom.
Southern California's Lysis have been merging the crawl of doom with death metal's rot since 2008, crafting music from the Inland Empire that sounds like decomposition set to a slow, inevitable tempo. Grief rendered in distortion.
Lábar'Oculto is a black/doom metal band from Piraju, São Paulo, formed in 2017, whose lyrics draw on poetry, literature, and occultism. The band released their self-titled debut album in 2020 through Misanthropic Records and Black Hearts Records, recorded at Amarello Sound Studio between 2017 and 2019. The album was preceded by the single Lábar'Oculto (Contravulgata) and a live recording from UMF XVIII.
Lâmmia is a stoner/doom metal band from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, formed in 2018, pairing heavy and dense riff-driven instrumentation with bluesy female vocals.

Their sound draws on heavy psych and classic doom traditions while retaining a distinctly soulful sensibility.
Swiss stoner/doom metal band from Lausanne formed in 2022, delivering heavy, psychedelic doom across sprawling compositions. Their debut album 'Fala' features seven tracks of crushing, atmospheric stoner doom spanning 45 minutes.
German epic heavy/doom metal band from Chemnitz, formed in 2023 and crafting grandiose, slow-burning compositions. Their sound channels the epic tradition of doom metal through towering riffs and majestic atmosphere.
