Doom Metal project from the American underground.
Johnson City, Tennessee doom metal project whose 2016 single Gatekeeper/Friends hints at both fantasy influences and an unexpected warmth. Doom from the Appalachian highlands of East Tennessee.
Indianapolis doom band whose crushing low-end and glacial tempos evoke the weight of Midwestern winters, crafting monolithic riffs that rumble with patient, deliberate devastation.
New York City doom metal project whose 2010 releases — Split in Two and The Ruins at Dusk — establish an early foundation of crushing, atmospheric heaviness. Named after the Gnostic rulers of the material world.
Rhode Island doom metal project whose releases Exist for Nothing... and the live recording To Live and To Die channel existential despair through crushing heaviness. The name — combining passion and death — captures doom metal's essential tension.
Connecticut doom collaboration featuring veteran musicians exploring the heavier side of progressive rock and traditional doom, delivering patient, emotionally rich compositions with decades of experience behind them.
Nevada doom and drone metal project with six releases since 2012. Their catalog — including the evocatively titled Echoes Beyond the Ruins ov Rust and Razors — trades in the slowest, heaviest frequencies the desert state can produce.
Wilmington, North Carolina doom and post-metal project whose 2024 EP Thalassophobia explores the fear of deep water through crushing, atmospheric heaviness. Coastal Carolina dread rendered in slow, suffocating riffs.
Chicago doom act crafting oppressively heavy slowcore from the Windy City, wrapping nihilistic weight in the kind of crushing riffs that flatten everything in their path.
