Seattle doom metal conjurers active since 2011, dealing in occult-tinged heaviness across three releases including a live album. Their catalog channels the Pacific Northwest's perpetual gloom into ritualistic, riff-worshipping doom.
San Antonio, Texas doom metal project named after the volcanic rock.
Andvaka practices funeral doom metal from Reykjavík, a style that mirrors Iceland's glacial pace and crushing geological forces since 2019. Their Icelandic name, suggesting sleeplessness or insomnia, reflects the torturous wakefulness their slow-motion devastation induces.
Chicago and Oklahoma City doom metal collaboration channeling existential dread since 2021. Their full-length How to Look Forward to the Apocalypse pairs a darkly humorous title with genuinely crushing doom, while Life In Jars suggests a more intimate, claustrophobic heaviness.
Anethera is an industrial death and doom metal solo project from Haderslev, Denmark, created by Dan Monberg Skott, whose 2021 release Fiat Justicia Ruat Caelum contains three tracks originally recorded in 2012 and rediscovered in an old Dropbox archive. The project focuses on keeping music simple and atmospheric within the industrial death metal framework.
Anfel creates symphonic gothic and doom metal from Tver since 2009. Over fifteen years from this historic city between Moscow and Saint Petersburg, they have crafted orchestrally enriched compositions of dark romanticism.
A doom/sludge/drone trio from Liège whose name derives from the Inuit word for shaman, reflecting the band's interest in ritualistic and shamanic sonic spaces. After a 2012 EP, they released a self-titled debut album in May 2015 via Satanath Records, recorded at Noise Factory Studio by Gérald Jans, described as a fat, aggressive ride through dark and shamanic places.
Angel of Nature channels doom and black metal from Poltava since 2010. Their paradoxical name — a celestial being of the natural world — drives fifteen years of compositions that explore the divine within wilderness.
Morgantown, West Virginia doom metal project with a staggering seven releases since 2024, demonstrating a creative output that borders on compulsive. Their catalog plumbs the depths of lo-fi doom with provocative titles and relentless productivity from the Mountain State.
