Dromos is a funeral doom metal band from London, formed in 2024, featuring vocalist Sami, dual guitarists Patrick and Amadeus, bassist Matt, and drummer Jhoni Rodrigues. Their self-titled debut, described as a "sonic landscape of despair," was recorded between Brazil and the UK, mixed by Peter Vitus and mastered by Colin Marston, with cassettes released through Dry Cough Records.
Portland, Oregon's Drown emerged in 2019 with funeral doom metal that takes its name and its mandate seriously — music designed to feel like submersion, all glacially slow tempos, cavernous low-end, and a suffocating emotional weight that discourages any notion of a quick listen. In a city with a rich experimental metal culture, they occupy the most extreme edge of slowness.
