Finnish melodic death metal band from Jyvaskyla, active since 2019 and channeling the Scandinavian melodeath tradition. Their sound blends harmonic precision with aggressive intensity in the classic Finnish mold.
British doom metal band from Colchester, delivering crushing, slow-tempo heaviness since 2016. Their name suggests the clear, crystalline quality that balances the dense weight of their doom metal.
Lucifer was founded in Berlin in 2014 by German vocalist Johanna Sadonis following the dissolution of her previous band The Oath, initially delivering a sound rooted heavily in occult doom metal before gradually broadening toward 1970s-influenced heavy rock. The band has released five studio albums in a numbered series—Lucifer I through Lucifer V (2024)—each refining the balance between vintage hard rock atmosphere and doom-laden heaviness. Sadonis remains the sole constant member, with Swedish guitarist Nicke Andersson of The Hellacopters having co-founded and shaped the early sound before departing.
Swiss heavy psych/stoner metal band from Thun, channeling dark, psychedelic heaviness since 2019. Their releases including 'Black Abyss' and their self-titled album deliver acid-drenched riffs and expansive sonic landscapes.
Crushing Blackened Death Metal from Fort Worth.
New York's Lucifer Jones have been threading doom, heavy metal, and punk together since 1995, with a street-worn irreverence that keeps even the heaviest riffs from taking themselves too seriously.
Stuttgart-based stoner/doom metal and rock duo featuring Louve La Nuit on vocals and MorighosT on all instruments, debuting with 'Love, Music, Lucifer' in 2020. Their eight-track album ranges from compact rockers to an epic near-nine-minute closer, blending occult themes with doom and stoner grooves.
Norwegian progressive/hard rock/heavy metal band from Oslo, formed in 2024 and blending retro rock with metal weight. Their provocative name channels Luciferian imagery through accessible rock and metal frameworks.
Greek black metal band from Athens, releasing their debut 'The Wiccan' on Dark Essence Records in 2015. Their eight-track album delivers classic Hellenic black metal across 38 minutes, with connections to Greece's storied extreme metal lineage including Rotting Christ associations.
