The Drowning from UK play death/doom metal that imbibes the best qualities of both the genres, keeping it crushing as well as poignant. The band's tendency to churn out some wicked grooves is unreal.
Noctu from Italy play extremely bleak, atmospheric blackened doom metal that will overwhelm your senses. The emotions are all too palpable and this kind of harrowing music is perfect for winter.
Sludge/doom giants Jupiterian have created what's possibly the best album of their career and a standout one in the style too. It's dark, suffocating and strangely mesmerizing. It's a masterpiece.
