Indiana's Plenary Indulgence crawls through the intersection of funeral doom and sludge with crushing deliberateness, building suffocating walls of feedback and grief into extended dirges.

Minsk's Pogost has been crafting glacially slow funeral doom since 2008, their name — meaning 'cemetery' in Slavic languages — perfectly encapsulating the sepulchral weight of their music.
