Ethereal Tomb

Toronto, ON, CA · 2021–present · active
Ethereal Tomb formed in 2021 between Barrie and Toronto, developing a sound they describe with the street-level force of sludge, doom, and hardcore. The project began around guitarist and vocalist Alexander Senum, with early material combining massive low-end riffs, slow-motion heaviness, and a raw political charge. Their self-titled debut brought together doom metal weight, hardcore abrasion, and death-tinged grime, while later releases such as Death Of The Indian, When the Rivers Dry, and Life Beyond Oppressor's Brutality sharpened both the band's sound and its message. Ethereal Tomb's music is heavy in more than a sonic sense: the songs confront colonial violence, social neglect, environmental collapse, and survival, using repetition and distortion to make those themes feel oppressive and immediate. The band can move from crawling doom to crusty hardcore momentum, but the core remains thick, angry, and grounded. Ethereal Tomb stand out because their heaviness is inseparable from lived anger; the riffs are not just dark atmosphere, they are vehicles for resistance and grief.

Eyehategod

New Orleans, LA, US · 1988–present · active
New Orleans' Eyehategod are the definitive sludge metal band, dragging blues-soaked doom through a swamp of feedback, distortion, and misanthropic fury since 1988. Mike IX Williams' anguished howl over Jimmy Bower's crushing, tempo-shifting riffs on 'Take as Needed for Pain' and 'Dopesick' established the blueprint that inspired countless sludge and doom acts. Their sound is as much a product of New Orleans' oppressive heat and hard living as any musical influence, making them inseparable from their environment.

Eyes Of The Sun

NY, US · 2007–present · active
Eyes of the Sun is a doom and sludge metal trio from Brooklyn, New York, formed in 2007 by vocalist/bassist Jeff Blanchard and guitarist Miguel De Jesus Jr., with drummer Chris O'Neil completing the lineup. The band endured significant setbacks when Hurricane Sandy destroyed their rehearsal space at Translator Audio in New York and wiped out their equipment, but ultimately signed to Metal Blade's Blacklight Media imprint and released their debut Chapter I (2018). Blanchard is also the owner of the Brooklyn metal bar Lucky 13 Saloon, a venue closely connected to New York's underground doom scene.
