No Belief is a power/doom metal band from Ceske Budejovice in southern Bohemia, active since 2016. The band fuses the grandeur of power metal with the crushing weight of doom from the historic Budweiser city.
Richmond, Virginia's No Dawn for Man have been hauling slow, smoke-thick doom since 2013, pairing the fuzz-heavy desert rock influence of stoner metal with the glacial, crushing tempos of traditional doom. There's a bleak hopelessness embedded in their name and their sound alike — riffs that lumber forward under immense weight, as if reflecting Richmond's hard-bitten character back through a haze of amplifier worship.
