Ayer, Massachusetts quartet Moosataur have been crafting psychedelic doom and stoner metal since 2013, layering lysergic haze over slow, crushing riffwork in a style that's as trance-inducing as it is heavy.
Moose Cult is a heavy and doom metal act from London, formed in 2023 with a sound that blends crushing doom weight with traditional heavy metal hooks. The band's animal-worshipping name hints at a playful approach within an otherwise heavy framework.
Mor is a hardcore (early); death/doom metal (later) band from Liberec, Czech Republic, formed in 2018. They craft crushing doom-death compositions steeped in oppressive heaviness.
Morast is a blackened doom and death metal band from the Düsseldorf-Wuppertal-Cologne region of Germany, formed in 2017. Their catalog spans releases like Ancestral Void and The Palingenesis, channeling oppressive doom through a blackened death metal filter.
Morbicus is a death and doom metal band from Wimborne Minster, England, formed in 2014. They craft crushing doom-death from the Dorset countryside.
Morbid Evils is a sludge, doom, and death metal band from Turku, Finland, formed in 2022. They channel crushing extremity through the unholy convergence of sludge, doom, and death metal.
Morbid Rituals is a black and doom metal project from Germany, formed in 2022, operating under the creed "only death is real." They channel first-wave black metal and doom traditions into crushing, primitive extremity.
Morbydia drew from the European gothic doom tradition — think Paradise Lost and early Tristania — blending mournful female vocals with heavy, melody-driven riffs and keyboard atmospherics. The band released the album "Saturnia" and earlier recorded "Requiem To The Sun" through Avernus Records, building a small but devoted following in the Brazilian underground before splitting up.
Active since the early 2000s, Morcrof weaves black and doom metal through a lens of occultism, mysticism, and existential philosophy, with Latin and Hebraic titles underscoring the band's esoteric leanings. Their 2005 full-length "Machshevet Habriá (Myths and Conjectures of Creation)" stands as a cornerstone of their catalog, and they have remained prolific into the 2020s with releases including the 2022 full-length "De Pessimism Philosophiam et Dogma Nihilistic."
