Aasverus

Belo Horizonte, BR · 2015–present · active
Aasverus is a funeral doom metal project from Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, formed in 2015 and part of Brazil's slowly expanding underground doom scene. The band deals in the slowest, most oppressive end of the doom spectrum — heavily distorted guitars, funereal tempos, and bleak atmospheric density that characterizes the funeral doom subgenre. Their Bandcamp presence reflects a DIY approach common to the Brazilian extreme underground.

Abbotoir

Belfast, GB · 2013–present · active
Abbotoir crafts funeral doom metal from Belfast since 2013, their slaughterhouse-abbey portmanteau name evoking both religious and industrial horror. Their Northern Irish origins feed some of the island's slowest, heaviest compositions.

A black and funeral doom metal band from São Paulo active since 2004, whose name translates as "Without Faith." The project — centered on N. (Marcos Felinto Santos) on guitar, synth, violin, and vocals — weaves funeral doom heaviness with psychedelic and post-rock textures, releasing a self-titled album in 2012 and "O sol fulmina a terra" in 2016, and eventually breaking their no-live-show policy to perform at São Paulo's Let There Be Doom festival in 2013.

Absum

Lodi, IT · 2011–present · active
Absum weaves funeral doom, black metal, and drone from the Lombard city of Lodi since 2011. Their Latin name meaning 'I am absent' perfectly captures the dissociative, trance-like state their glacial compositions induce.

Abysmal Growls of Despair

Toulouse, FR · 2013–present · active
Abysmal Growls of Despair delivers some of France's most crushing funeral doom and drone metal from Toulouse since 2013, creating compositions of glacial pace and suffocating atmosphere. Their descriptive name leaves nothing to the imagination about the depths of desolation their music explores.

Samara, RU · 2015–present · active
Abysskvlt creates funeral doom metal from Samara on the Volga since 2015. Their kvlt-spelled portmanteau signals allegiance to underground metal traditions while their funereal pace tests the limits of slowness.

Acrybia

Malbork, PL · 2005–present · active
