Bangor, Maine's Dragontomb have been cultivating their corner of the doom metal underground since 2015, with the dark forests and harsh winters of northern New England providing an apt backdrop for slow, sepulchral compositions built on crushing low-end and suffocating tempos. Their sound is more death-doom in spirit than traditional doom, favoring bleak atmosphere over the melodic mourning of the European school.
