Isole

Isole is an epic doom metal band from Gävle, Sweden that is currently signed to napalm records.
Isole started up under the name Forlorn back in 1990 with two sole members Crister and Daniel. Some demo tapes were recorded under the 90's. Then the band went into hibernation a couple of years mostly because troubles with members quitting or living elsewhere. In 2003 record label I Hate Records contacted them and wanted to sign Forlorn, and we wanted a fresh start after the hibernation and changed name to Isole.

Ixion

1)Ixion is an atmospheric funeral doom band : Ixion was born in 2004 when Julien Prat started to work on his own compositions. During three years, he writes several tracks from a dark and atmospheric music to a more classical doom metal. Six tracks are finally selected for the first demo, which combines the doom and atmospheric sides, as well as some electronic and symphonic elements.
From that point, Ixion's music can be linked with some funeral doom and gothic/doom metal bands, with a particular work on keyboards and ambient soundscapes.

Ereb Altor

This epic metal band was formed in the early 90's by the sole two members still making up Ereb Altor. Growing up having Bathory's epic era in our hearts it was inevitable that the music we created somehow was going to be influenced by our house gods. Having Bathory's music as a foundation we created our own branch of this so called "epic viking metal" genre. Lyric-wise the topics differed slightly.

Apotheosis

There are five bands using this name: 1) A thrash metal/symphonic black metal one man band from Malta. Sauron composes all of the music for Apotheosis. Although the band was formed in autumn of 1993, it wasn't until 2002 that Sauron released a full length, the four track epic Farthest From The Sun. 2) A two piece doom band from Toledo, Ohio. Their first album, 'Husk', was self-released in 2011 and they are currently (9/12) completing their second release, 'Bane'.

Pantheist

Mournful doom metal with ethnic and progressive overtones and a heavy dose of melancholy. The extensive use of atmospheric keyboards, various organ sounds and chanted vocals (although a lot of the vocals are grunted) creates a solemn, mystical atmosphere on many tracks. The music also incorporates many metal riffs as well as faster and more aggressive interludes.
