Tucson, AZ · 2020–present · active
Tucson's Tmpl traffics in the heavy and hallucinatory, fusing psychedelic rock sensibilities with slow-grinding doom to produce a sound that feels rooted in the Sonoran Desert heat — expansive, hazy, and hypnotic.
Olympia · 2003–present · active
Olympia's Toadliquor have been peddling some of the ugliest and most oppressive sludge-doom the Pacific Northwest has produced since their 2003 formation, dragging out riffs to their most suffocating extremes against a backdrop of feedback and misanthropy.
Baltimore, MD · 2008–present · active
Baltimore's Todesbonden have been weaving orchestral grandeur into gothic and doom metal since 2008, fusing symphonic arrangements with the slow, mournful weight of doom and gothic metal's darkness for a deeply atmospheric result.
Miami, FL · 2016–present · active
Miami funeral doom act Tomb have been conjuring glacially slow, grief-saturated soundscapes since 2016, dwelling in the most oppressive end of the doom spectrum where tempo yields entirely to weight and atmosphere.
Baltimore, MD · 2018–present · active
Baltimore's Tombtoker are one of the more eclectic acts in the city's thriving underground, folding stoner metal's hazy weight into a death-doom foundation since 2018 to produce something heavy enough to flatten walls and smoky enough to cloud vision.
San Francisco, CA · 2014–present · active
San Francisco's Tomes have been threading doom metal's crush through a thrash and hardcore framework since 2014, producing music that carries Bay Area aggression in its bones while slowing things down enough to feel genuinely oppressive.
Toledo, OH · 2025–present · active
Toledo, Ohio doom metal act Tomorrow arrived in 2025, entering a storied Midwestern heavy music tradition with a sound that leans into slow tempos, heavy riffing, and the genre's characteristic sense of weight and inevitability.
Phoenix, AZ · 2020–present · active
Phoenix, Arizona's Torment of Gloom, formed in 2020, combines doom, sludge, and post-metal into slow-burning, heavy-atmosphered soundscapes. The oppressive desert heat of their city seems to seep into their thick, suffocating sonic palette.
Hamilton, OH · 2005–present · active
Hamilton, Ohio funeral doom outfit Torture Wheel have been grinding out some of the genre's most punishing slow-motion heaviness since 2005, favoring glacial tempos and suffocating atmospheres that put them squarely in the tradition of the genre's bleakest practitioners.
