Samsara Blues Experiment were a Berlin-based stoner/doom outfit active from 2007 to 2020, led by Christian Peters alongside Hans Eiselt and Thomas Vedder. Albums like "One With The Universe" and "Waiting For The Flood" earned them a devoted following in the psychedelic doom underground before Peters continued with Fuzz Sagrado.
Nitra's Samuhaya pair doom and black metal with noise and ambient elements since 2022. Their Sanskrit-derived name channels Eastern philosophical concepts into compositions of multi-textured darkness from the ancient Slovak ecclesiastical city.
Crushing Heavy / Doom Metal from Houston.
Stoner/doom metal band from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, formed in 2017. The band released the album Cartago in 2019, a slow, heavy psychedelic record in the tradition of Brazilian stoner and doom metal.
Sandy Leather deliver stoner/doom metal and rock from Berlin, building fuzzy, riff-heavy compositions that channel the genre's laid-back heaviness. Their German capital base gives them access to one of Europe's most fertile underground music scenes.
Sangre Ritual ("Ritual Blood") forge heavy and doom metal from Barcelona, combining classic metal foundations with doom's crushing weight and ritualistic themes. Active since 2015, they bring blood-soaked ceremony to the Catalan underground.
Death metal band from Bento Gonçalves, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, formed in 1998. The band released the full-length album Fleshback on June 1, 2012 through Terceiro Mundo Chaos Discos (TMCD006), recorded and mixed during the second half of 2011 at Soundstorm Studio in Bento Gonçalves; the nine-track album features song titles including 'Purulent Vaginal Discharge' and 'Coprophilic Tendencies'.
Minnesota's Sanguivore have been forging blackened sludge and doom since 2019 in the tradition of bands that take the genre's bleakest impulses from both directions — the cold aggression of black metal and the suffocating weight of sludge/doom — and compress them into something genuinely oppressive. The upper Midwest winter lives in their sound.
Sanity Obscure craft gothic and doom metal from Franconia, evolving from their Furth origins to their later Hollstadt base while maintaining their focus on dark, brooding heaviness. Their blend of gothic atmospheres with doom's crushing weight creates an immersive sound.
