A short-lived Philadelphia death/doom project, Call of Pripyat channeled sorrow, bleakness, and apocalyptic dread into crushing compositions before splitting up in 2022.

Pennsylvania's Chasms dwell in the overlap of death doom and classic doom metal, conjuring slow, grief-stricken heaviness that unfolds with deliberate, funereal patience. Their compositions carry the weight of the genre's most suffocating traditions.

Scranton death-doom act Choking on Offal dwell in the most suffocating end of the spectrum, fusing cavernous death metal brutality with the slow crush of doom. Expect nothing merciful.

Pennsylvania death-doom and sludge act layering the suffocating weight of doom with the morbid darkness of death metal. They operate at the slow, crushing intersection where both genres feel most punishing.

York, Pennsylvania husband-and-wife duo Cultic fuse early death/doom, first-wave black metal, and punk into what they call dungeon doom — a battle-scarred sound decorated with dark fantasy themes, dungeon synth interludes, and martial industrial textures. Released via Eleventh Key Records, their 2025 album Lore is their most fully realized entry into this singular aesthetic.
