Molassess emerged from the Netherlands in 2019 when members of the defunct occult rock band The Devil's Blood — including vocalist Farida Lemouchi — convened for a commissioned performance at Roadburn Festival. The project released its debut single Mourning Haze / Drops of Sunlight via Ván Records that year and followed with the full-length Through the Hollow on Season of Mist in 2023, a sprawling, psychedelic occult rock record that carries on the atmospheric and ritualistic spirit of their predecessors.
Molch is a blackened sludge and post-metal band from London, England, formed in 2012. They fuse blackened aggression with sludge and post-metal dynamics.
Mold is a Copenhagen death metal outfit that embraces the fetid, HM-2-fueled sound that has defined Scandinavian death metal for decades. Active since 2016, the band layers buzzing distortion over d-beat rhythms and guttural vocal attack.
Pittsburgh's Mold Farmer blend the fuzz-soaked riff worship of stoner metal with the funeral pace of doom, cultivating a sound that's both hazy and heavy in equal measure. Since 2019 they've added another layer to Pittsburgh's already rich tradition of slow and heavy music.
Toledo, Ohio's Mold Golem work at the crossroads of heavy and doom metal, crafting riff-driven material that draws from traditional metal foundations while leaning into darker, slower territory. Formed in 2019, they represent Toledo's quieter but genuine contribution to the Midwest heavy music scene.
Molde is a black and doom metal band from Cork, Ireland, formed in 2012. They fuse black metal's darkness with doom's oppressive weight from the Irish south.
Baldwin Park, California's Moldering Vibration drag sludge metal's thick, distorted hostility through the blasting chaos of grindcore, arriving somewhere ugly and cathartic in the process. A young band formed in 2021, they bring a caustic edge to the Los Angeles area underground.
A heavy metal act from the Dalmatian city of Zadar, Black Point has been delivering classic-style metal since 2013. The band channels the Adriatic coast's energy into traditional heavy metal compositions.
