Cleveland doom/industrial metal project merging crushing heaviness with mechanical, electronic textures. Two releases since 2023 explore the intersection of organic doom weight and synthetic industrial menace.

Irondale doom metal project from the Ohio underground.

Kent, Ohio doom band from the college town that birthed Devo, delivering a very different kind of heavy — slow, meditative, and crushingly weighty.

Cincinnati power metal project whose 2015 single — featuring a collaboration with Dr. Space — blends cosmic exploration with mythological reference. Echoes Of Mount Ida reaches from ancient Troy to the stars.

Black/doom metal band from Steubenville, Ohio, active since 2004 and named after the one-eyed king of the Fomorians in Irish mythology.

please update this band

Cleveland doom and post-metal act Christmas submerges listeners in slow-moving walls of distortion and bleak atmospheric texture. Their music carries the weight of Ohio's rust belt surroundings, melding crushing heaviness with expansive sonic drift.

Columbus, Ohio doom/sludge duo Churches Burn construct massive, slow-crawling dirges that lean heavily on feedback and minimalist songwriting. Their sound is oppressively heavy and desolate, built for endurance rather than aggression.

Dayton, Ohio's Close the Hatch have been building their atmospheric doom-post-metal sound since 2011, occupying a sonic space where Electric Wizard's psychedelic weight meets the post-metal grandeur of Neurosis. Their 2020 album Modern Witchcraft, released on Red Moth Records, stands as one of their most fully realized statements.
