Adliga is a post-metal and doom metal band from Minsk, Belarus, whose name means "thaw" in Belarusian, with lyrics rooted in Belarusian literature, folklore, and poetry. Signed to Sliptrick Records, the band released the debut EP "Kali Paciače Nieba" (2020) and the full-length "Vobrazy," delivering a crestfallen blend of stripped-back doom filtered through a post-metal framework.
Adom creates sludge and doom metal from Vicenza since 2013, layering crushing heaviness over Palladio's architectural city. Their Hebrew-derived name meaning 'red' or referencing the first human speaks to the primal, earth-bound quality of their Veneto-born heaviness.
Adora Vivos is a progressive doom metal solo project from Rochester, Minnesota. Their 2013 EP "Toward the Empyrean" established a foundation of slow-burning, cerebral doom, and a 2020 split with fellow Minnesota act Amiensus further showcased the project's atmospheric depth.
Advent Varic is a blackened stoner/doom project from Boston, Massachusetts. Their contribution to a 2020 split with Opium Warlock captures the project's vision of fusing black metal's harsh textures with the low-end rumble of stoner doom.
Adversvm are a death-doom and funeral doom metal band from Norden in northern Germany, whose releases Dysangelion and Vama Marga explore the heaviest and slowest reaches of extreme metal. Active since 2019, the project channels the bleak flatness of the North Sea coast into oppressively weighty compositions.
