Thessaloniki's Altar of the Stag blend doom, post-metal, and sludge into ritualistic compositions of primal heaviness and atmospheric depth. Since 2020, they've channelled pagan reverence and natural mysticism through crushing, slow-building sonic rituals.
Altar of the Witch combines heavy, doom, and stoner metal from Sassari in northern Sardinia since 2020. Their occult name conjures images of pagan worship that their thick, riff-heavy Sardinian sound brings to life.
Altareth crafts stoner and doom metal from Gothenburg since 2015. Their altar-derived name drives a decade of riff-worshipping compositions from Sweden's western coast.
Altars of Moss is an instrumental psychedelic doom trio from Herne, Germany, formed in late 2023, whose music arises organically from jamming and draws inspiration from the beauty and depths of nature. Their 2024 demo, released on Erdkern Records, features two tracks of heavy psych and doom recorded in their rehearsal room, showcasing the band's immersive, jam-based approach.
Brooklyn doom metal project. Slow, crushing heaviness from New York City's creative borough.
An atmospheric doom/sludge metal band from Brussels, currently active and releasing music independently. Their music sits within the Belgian tradition of heavy, slow-motion atmospheric metal, and they appear in both the Metal Archives and local doom/sludge scene documentation.
Cleveland doom/industrial metal project merging crushing heaviness with mechanical, electronic textures. Two releases since 2023 explore the intersection of organic doom weight and synthetic industrial menace.
Turnersville, New Jersey progressive thrash metal act blending technical riffing with aggressive velocity. A South Jersey project that channels the Garden State's deep thrash metal roots through a progressive lens.
Maplewood, New Jersey doom metal project with a staggering thirteen releases since 2023. A hyper-prolific solo effort burying listeners under an avalanche of slow, heavy output.
