Reefer is a death/doom/stoner metal band from Copenhagen, Denmark, formed in 2020. The band merges the crushing weight of death-doom with stoner metal's hazy groove from the Danish capital.
Solo stoner doom project of Jordan Allard from Stevenage, whose self-titled 2019 EP was entirely written, performed, recorded, mixed, and mastered by a single pair of hands. Tracks like 'The Dealer Always Wins' and 'Soul Snatcher' deliver fuzz-drenched doom with DIY authenticity.
Doom/death metal band from Oryol, Russia, active since 2017. Their approach combines doom's crushing weight with death metal's ferocity from the central Russian city.
Graz duo Andreas Heller and David Reumüller have driven Reflector since 1997, moving fluidly between sludge, doom, noise, and alternative metal without anchoring to any one direction. Released on Rock Is Hell Records, Noise Appeal Records, and Interstellar Records, their 2012 album The Heritage stands as their most recent full-length statement.
Regina Venenosa is a black/doom metal band from Folgoso de la Ribera in the province of León, Spain, active since 2012. Named 'Poisonous Queen' in Latin, the band channels dark, oppressive doom and black metal from the mountainous Bierzo region of northwestern Spain.
Sludge/stoner/doom metal band from Venice, Italy, active since 2016. Their absurdly specific name accompanies crushing heaviness from the floating city.
Reh is a progressive sludge/doom metal band from Copenhagen, Denmark, active since 2016. The band layers progressive complexity over crushing sludge and doom foundations from the Danish capital.
Reido is a Belarusian metal band from Minsk formed in 2006, progressing from apocalyptic funeral doom toward sludge doom metal with math metal rhythmics. Their 2011 album Minus Eleven explores themes of asociality, estrangement, and misanthropy across seven tracks of crushing, methodical heaviness.
Connecticut's Reign Cloud have been cultivating a heavy, mournful doom/death sound since 2016 — music that shares the bleak introspection of the genre's forebears while carving out its own gloomy character. The New England setting suits the pace and atmosphere perfectly.
