Rottendawn is a doom/death metal band from Helsinki, Finland, formed in 2019. The band channels crushing doom-death from the Finnish capital.
Rotting Beetroot is a psychedelic doom/death metal and crust band from Prague, Czech Republic, formed in 2017. Their releases including Black Fucking Unicorn From The Future reflect the band's irreverent, genre-blending approach to heavy music that merges crushing doom with psychedelic experimentation and punk energy.
Portland, Oregon's Rotting Sky has spent over a decade building suffocating soundscapes where funeral doom's glacial pace meets the bleak atmospherics of black metal and ambient drone. Their music is slow, cavernous, and oppressive — less concerned with riffs than with the weight of sustained decay.
Rowan is a doom and sludge metal project from Minsk, Belarus, formed in 2019 and operating in the slow, heavy tradition of the genre. The project contributes to the surprisingly active Belarusian heavy underground scene that has produced numerous sludge and doom acts.
Los Angeles outfit Rowsdower, active since 2011, occupies the slow and swampy intersection of sludge, stoner, and doom metal — thick riffs, deliberate tempos, and the kind of hazy, heavy atmosphere that the LA underground has cultivated for decades. Their sound favors groove and weight over speed.
Doom metal/rock band from Penzance, Cornwall, formed in 2021. Their approach delivers ponderous, regal doom from England's remote southwest tip.
Orlando's Royal Graves fuse the brooding weight of doom and sludge with post-metal's cinematic expansiveness, crafting music that moves between crushing low-end heaviness and more spacious, emotionally textured passages. Formed in 2017, they're a thoughtful presence in Florida's heavier underground.

Boston's Rozamov, formed in 2015, blend the psychedelic haze of stoner metal with the slow, oppressive roll of doom, building long-form songs that burn low and heavy without sacrificing atmosphere for riff worship. They are a reliable fixture in the northeastern heavy underground.
