Massive Doom Metal out of Texas.

Edwardsville, Illinois death-thrashers Unburied have been plowing through the American underground since 2006, fusing the morbid heaviness of old-school death metal with the kinetic aggression of thrash. No-frills and consistently bruising.
Experimental drone and funeral doom project from Oxfordshire, England, named after the quantum physics concept, active since 2017. Their sound explores the slowest, heaviest extremes of metal through drone and funeral doom's monolithic compositions.
Death and doom metal band from Durham in northeast England, active since 2013 with releases including Ceremonies of Morbidity and Ritual Death and Funeral Rites. Their funeral-themed death-doom channels the genre's morbid fascination with mortality and decay.
Death, black, and doom metal band from Oulu, Finland, active since 2022 and blending three extreme subgenres into a single devastating sound. Their approach channels the darkness of black metal through death and doom metal's crushing weight.
