Doomocracy is an epic progressive doom metal band from Heraklion, Crete, formed in 2014. Their three albums The End Is Written, Visions & Creatures of Imagination, and Unorthodox establish them as one of the most prominent doom metal acts from the Greek islands.
Doomoniac is a black metal band from Granollers, Spain, active since 2014. They channel demonic doom through black metal from the Catalan interior.

Doomscroller is a death metal band from Hamburg, Germany, formed in 2024. Their name nods to modern anxiety while their sound delivers pure, heavy death metal.
Forged in Chicago in 2021, Doomsday tears through the Midwest underground with a ferocious blend of speed and thrash metal that draws as much from early Slayer as from the first wave of power-speed crossovers. Their riffs hit with the urgency of a city that never coddles its heavy music, all breakneck tempos and serrated guitar work that leaves little room to breathe. It's lean, mean thrash built for the pit.
Doomsday Astronaut plays progressive metal from Sibiu in Transylvania, active since 2020 and launching complex, exploratory compositions from the medieval heart of Romania. Their name's juxtaposition of apocalypse and space exploration creates a thematic framework for ambitious, forward-thinking metal.
Doomsday Braves is a doom and stoner metal band from East Ayrshire, Scotland, formed in 2020 and self-described as "big, boozin' blues." Their four-track debut EP Big 'n' Heavy (2020) spans nearly thirty minutes of introspective, heavy stoner doom tackling everyday mental struggles.
Doomsday Crusaders is a sludge/doom metal band from Le Havre, France, formed in 2016. They crusade through crushing sludge and doom from Normandy's port.
