Massive Doom Metal from San Antonio.
Formed in Mechelen in 2008 with an explicit mission to revive the early 1990s doom-death sound, Marche Funèbre have since released ten albums and performed over 180 concerts across more than 15 countries. Key releases including Into the Arms of Darkness, Roots of Grief, and the more recent Echoes From Beyond trace the band's growth from underground act to one of Belgium's most prolific doom-death exports.
Mardröm is a black/doom metal and drone project from Stolzenau, Germany, formed in 2024. Their sound occupies the suffocating intersection of black metal's frigid atmosphere, doom's crushing weight, and drone's hypnotic repetition.
Mare Infinitum is a atmospheric doom/death metal band from Moscow, Russia, formed in 2011. They craft crushing doom-death compositions steeped in oppressive heaviness.
Mares of Diomedes is a doom and sludge metal band from Belfast, Northern Ireland, formed in 2015. Named after the man-eating horses of Greek mythology, they deliver crushing doom-sludge.
A stoner and doom metal act from Birmingham, the city that birthed the genre, Margarita Witch Cult channels the Sabbathian tradition with fuzz-drenched riffs and occult themes since 2022. The band carries the weight of Birmingham's doom legacy in every down-tuned chord.
Marianas Rest is a melodic doom/death metal band from Kotka, Finland, formed in 2016. They craft crushing doom-death compositions steeped in oppressive heaviness.
Marja Üldine is a heavy/doom/folk metal, various band from Saint Petersburg, Russia, formed in 2022. They weave folk traditions into heavy metal compositions.
Formed in Barbacena, Minas Gerais in 2005 by bassist Delmario Lauriano and guitarist/vocalist Rodrigo Costa, Marmorium Crucis blended gothic doom with deathrock and psychedelic textures, drawing lyrical themes from regional folklore — sanatoriums, cemeteries, and misty streets. Their 2011 demo Le chemin de croix des ames collects nine originals alongside a cover of the Rolling Stones' "Gimme Shelter", capturing the band's phantasmagoric aesthetic before their eventual dissolution.
