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.

Ohio raw black metal project steeped in deliberate lo-fi ugliness and a deeply underground aesthetic. Murky, buzzing, and cold, with little interest in accessibility or polish.

Columbus, Ohio's Crowtalker wallow in the slow, heavy interplay between doom and stoner metal, layering fuzz-drenched riffs over plodding rhythms that settle deep into the bones. Their sound favors atmosphere and sustained weight over aggression.

Cincinnati's Cult of Sorrow take early heavy metal's most primal impulses and run them through a lens of occult doom, drawing on traditional witchcraft imagery while keeping the riffs massive and the atmosphere brooding. Their 2019 album Invocation of the Lucifer is their most complete statement, framing the horned god as a force of nature rather than a figure of evil.

Columbus, Ohio's Cultists work within the death/doom tradition, building heavy, suffocating compositions that balance the slow crawl of classic doom with the brutality of death metal. The Ohio band operates independently, adding to a Columbus extreme metal scene that has produced some of the most punishing underground acts in the Midwest.

Youngstown, Ohio doom and stoner metal band spelling out heaviness in a deliberately obscured name as raw and slow as their riffs. CVTTVNMVVTH drags through cavernous, fuzz-drenched dirges from the Rust Belt underground.
