Doom of Death is an epic doom metal band from Ceará, Brazil, inspired by the European tradition of the genre as heard in Candlemass, Isole, and Evangelist.

Doom Pig plays experimental death metal from Berlin, active since 2017 and approaching the genre with the irreverence and unpredictability that the city's avant-garde scene demands. Their absurdist name hints at a creative philosophy that refuses to treat even death metal's most sacred conventions with reverence.
Austin, Texas's Doom Prophet have been delivering heavy, crawling doom metal to the Live Music Capital since 2020, adding a darker, heavier counterweight to a city more famous for its blues and rock scene. Their heavy/doom sound is built on the tradition of slow-motion riff architecture and an oppressive atmosphere that Austin's heat and sprawl seem to generate naturally. They are part of a growing contingent of Texas acts demonstrating that the state's metal underground extends far beyond thrash.
Doom Rot plays melodic death metal from Moscow, active since 2019. Their decay-themed name contrasts with the melodic beauty they weave through aggressive death metal frameworks, creating compositions that find brightness within decomposition.
Doom:VS is a funeral doom and death metal band from Saffle, Sweden, formed in 2006. The project crafts glacially slow and emotionally devastating doom.
