Avatarium

Sweden's Avatarium specializes in ultra-heavy and epically dark doom metal with a classic rock twist that invokes names like My Dying Bride, Black Sabbath, Cathedral, Rainbow, Entombed, and Blue Öyster Cult. The band's bold and bluesy take on the genre includes plenty of occult-rock underpinnings, as heard on standout releases like The Girl with the Raven Mask (2015) and The Fire I Long For (2019). Between You, God, the Devil & the Dead, the group's sixth long-player, appeared in 2025.
