Mordor Truckers deal in slow-burning, fuzz-heavy stoner doom with a psychedelic edge, built around the guitar work of Manuel Ceballos and a tight rhythm section driven by drummer Brendan Bazzi. Their 2023 EP "Nowhere" — recorded at Wecando Music studio in Joinville — features the tracks "Ammit" and "Mindless," showcasing the band's taste for heavy, hypnotic grooves and atmospheric heaviness.
Morning Dead is a death doom solo project from Río Bueno, southern Chile, driven entirely by multi-instrumentalist Sebastian Ocampo. The project released its debut full-length, Desde el Otro Lado, in 2023.
A one-man project helmed by Matheus Leonel, previously of Midnight Loss, Morphin merges the languishing weight of funeral doom with melodic death metal's emotional melodicism. The project inhabits a space between isolation and fragile beauty, shaped entirely by Leonel's solo compositional vision.
An unconventional doom trio built around two bass guitars and drums — with no traditional guitar — Mortem Crucis (Rex, Reverend Hell Insane, and Master Blaster) creates a thick, funeral-paced sound centered on death, consciousness, and dystopia. Their debut album "The Coffin Ride" arrived in March 2024 via Gate of Doom Records, following a two-track self-titled EP from 2021.
Mourners Lament is a death doom band from Viña del Mar, Chile, active since 2004 and recognized as part of the Chilean doom scene alongside Uaral, Mar de Grises, and Poema Arcanus. Their catalog spans four releases — from the debut Unbroken Solemnity (2008) through We All Be Given (2017), released on Hammerheart Records, to A Grey Farewell (2024) — a nearly 65-minute album of crushing riffs, guttural vocals, and atmospheric synths.
Mudness is a stoner-doom trio featuring Renan Casarin on guitar and vocals, Fernando Dal Bó on bass, and Pedro Silvano on drums. Their 2023 self-titled debut, recorded at Célula Showcase studios in Florianópolis and produced by Leandro Lazzarotto, delivers seven tracks of heavy, riff-driven doom that circles themes of human fragility and social decay.
Murdock deal in slow, heavy riffs steeped in a 1970s Black Sabbath–rooted stoner doom tradition, with a psychedelic edge that the band describes as exploring dark earth rather than outer space. Their 2021 EP "Entre Tigres e Lobos" showcases the quartet's knack for mood-saturated songwriting, and the track "Olhos Sinistros" — a lo-fi, crushing meditation on a bloodthirsty mythical creature — has become a fan favourite.
My Fallen Garden have carved out a space in the northeastern doom underground with a sound built on slow, mournful tempos and an epic, mystic lyrical outlook. Originally active in the early 2000s — appearing on the 2006 compilation "Suspiria de Profundis II" with the track "Images of the Inevitable" — the band returned to activity in 2017 and have continued operating as an independent outfit.
Mábura is an instrumental psychedelic stoner/doom metal trio from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, formed in 2019, known for fuzz-heavy riffs and ritualistic atmospheres. The band released the EP "Heni" in August 2020 and contributed the track "Bong of God" to the compilation "Doomed & Stoned: The Instrumentalists" (2021); they later collaborated with Lagarto Rei on the two-song instrumental EP "Abyssopelagic."
