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.
Doomsday Cult plays black metal from Omsk in western Siberia, formed in 2024 and channeling apocalyptic fanaticism through atmospheric compositions. Their name's religious-extremism imagery drives music devoted to the worship of endings.
Formed in Albany, New York in 2024, Doomsday Manifesto is a brand-new force in the capital region's metal scene, bringing a groove-soaked brutality to death metal that hits with the blunt authority of a sledgehammer. The band leans into the midtempo pocket where groove metal's rhythmic swagger meets the throat-ripping aggression of death metal, carving out a sound built for heads that bang slow and hard. Still in their earliest days, they're already staking out territory that separates them from the pack.
Doomsday Sun is a progressive heavy and groove metal band from Uttoxeter, Staffordshire, formed in 2021. Their growing catalog includes the Cult of Stasis EP, Where the Hammer Lies, A Slow, Agonising Rapture, and the album Beat Together, Bleed Together, all framed by an apocalyptic, post-civilisation narrative.
Doomsday Trip is a groove/thrash metal band from Budapest, Hungary, formed in 2023. Their releases Hellwalkers and Madhouse deliver riff-driven groove and thrash metal from the Hungarian capital.
Doomslang is a doom/stoner metal band from Jundiaí, São Paulo, Brazil, featuring vocalist Sofia Nasar alongside guitars, bass, and drums. The band released the EP "Pier Della Vigna" in September 2020, a female-fronted traditional doom effort spanning four tracks.
Doomslaughter is a black-death metal band from Minsk, Belarus, whose 2018 EP 'Impure Devastation Mass' features two tracks of crushing extremity mixed at Resonance Sound Studio. Their sound fuses the raw chaos of black metal with death metal's punishing heaviness.
