Serpent Cobra is a stoner/doom metal duo from Paraná, Argentina, built around vocalist and bassist Carolina Dussau and guitarist Emanuel Acosta, drawing comparisons to Witchfinder General, Pentagram, and early Venom. Their debut album Anatomy of Abuses (2020) was released on cassette via Stoner Witch Records and on vinyl/CD via Interstellar Smoke Records, followed by the mini-album Beware (2021) and their third full-length Metal Disaster (2024).
Serpent God forge death/doom metal from the eastern Finnish town of Iisalmi, channeling the worship of serpentine deities through crushing, deliberate compositions. Emerging in 2025, they bring ophidian devotion to the Savo-region doom scene.
Stockholm's Serpent Omega pair sludge and doom metal from the Swedish capital since 2013. Their name combining the serpent with the final Greek letter channels apocalyptic reptilian menace into over a decade of crushing compositions.
Seattle's Serpent Rider trade in epic heavy and doom metal — towering, slow-moving riffs anchored in classic doom traditions, carrying the Pacific Northwest's atmospheric weight with a sound that leans into grandeur and mythic heaviness since 2019.
Rooted in Toulon's sun-baked Mediterranean coast, Serpent View has been churning out thick, resinous stoner/sludge/doom metal since 2014. Their sound contrasts the region's seaside warmth with crushing, low-tuned heaviness and crawling tempos.
Serpent Warning practice doom metal from the eastern Finnish city of Joensuu, delivering the cautionary heaviness their name promises. Formed in 2019, they bring serpentine menace to the North Karelia doom scene.
Serpentine Path is a doom and death metal band formed in New York in 2011, built around all three members of the cult doom act Unearthly Trance together with Tim Bagshaw, a founding member of Electric Wizard and Ramesses, and later augmented by Stephen Flam of New York doom-death legends Winter. The project's sound leaned toward a slow, crushing death-doom approach heavier and more deliberate than any of the members' previous bands. The band released a self-titled debut in 2012 and followed with Emanations in 2014 before going on hiatus in 2016, with Bagshaw shifting focus to With the Dead.
Serpentrance merge black, death, and doom metal from an undisclosed Russian location since 2014. Their serpent-trance name channels hypnotic ophidian states into multi-genre compositions of immersive, anonymous heaviness.
Serpentslayer pair doom and sludge metal from the Republic of Karelia since 2014. Their dragon-killer name and Karelian wilderness origins channel heroic mythology into compositions of crushing, lakeland heaviness.
