Hayward, California funeral doom solo project delivering crushingly slow, organ-tinged dirges in the Lovecraftian tradition, with a vicious yet mournful sonic weight.
please update this band

New Jersey funeral doom solo project of Xathagorra Mlandroth, best known for the landmark 2006 album 'In the Depths of R'lyeh' — an hour-long immersion into Lovecraftian dread built on glacial tempos and cavernous death growls.

Catapult-Collision is a young Modesto outfit playing heavy, slow-burning doom metal built on crushing low-tuned riffs and a suffocating sense of dread. Even as a recent formation, their approach reaches back to the genre's foundational bleakness.

Los Angeles avant-doom outfit blending post-rock, sludge metal, and keyboard-driven atmosphere, prioritizing organ and synth over guitars to create a uniquely sorrowful, minimalist doom sound.

Catatomic combines the slow, monolithic weight of doom metal with the filthy, distorted sludge of post-hardcore-influenced metal, producing a suffocatingly heavy sound suited to Wisconsin's cold and isolated atmosphere. Feedback, down-tuning, and deliberate pacing define their approach.

Corvallis, Oregon funeral doom sextet merging the glacial tempos of funeral doom with black metal's atmospheric coldness and a narrative arc around cycles of death and acceptance.

Los Angeles sci-fi doom trio whose debut channels the analog grit of Sleep and Monolord into dystopian, riff-heavy slow-burn doom with DIY ethics and a futuristic conceptual bent.

Gulfport, Mississippi death-doom band conjuring Lovecraftian dread through slow, crushing riffs and deep, cavernous atmosphere drawn from occultist themes and ritualistic horror.

Phoenix black/death/sludge project combining sludge-drenched atmosphere with raw black metal aggression, firmly situated in the underground extreme metal tradition.

Miami duo of Venezuelan origin playing epic, shifting doom and progressive metal that moves between trudging heaviness and soaring melodic passages, with deep operatic vocals and classical guitar grandeur reminiscent of Rainbow and early Rush.

Oshkosh's Cavernlight are a deeply mournful doom/drone/post-metal project whose music unfolds like an extended grief ritual — slow, crushing, and suffused with genuine desolation alongside acts like Thou and Bell Witch.

Rock Springs, Wyoming's Cavernlord operate in the raw space between black metal and doom, crafting cold, isolated music that reflects the barren, unforgiving landscape of the high desert.

Denver's Cavernous combine death and doom into slow, churning dirges built around crushing downtuned riffs, drawing on the death-doom lineage running from diSEMBOWELMENT through Evoken.

Bellingham's Cavurn move through death/doom at a glacial pace, letting riffs corrode and collapse under their own weight while gutturals push through the murk like something decomposing at depth.
