Amersfoort doom/post-metal/rock act formed in 2017, crafting expansive sonic landscapes through the fusion of crushing heaviness and atmospheric dynamics. Their contemplative approach bridges multiple genres.
A very recent formation out of New England, November Fire arrived in 2024 playing psychedelic doom and stoner metal that carries the languid, fuzz-drenched weight of the region's long winters. Their Bandcamp presence signals a band already thinking beyond the riff, incorporating psychedelic drift into a doom framework that emphasizes mood and slow-burning intensity over speed.

Seattle's Nox Velum have been occupying the grim overlap between heavy and doom metal since 2016, and their Pacific Northwest home — grey, rain-soaked, and rich with heavy music history — seems to seep directly into their sound. They traffic in slow, deliberate heaviness that channels classic doom's ritualistic pacing while maintaining the riff clarity of traditional heavy metal.
