Zaraza (doom metal)
Formed in Montreal in early 1993, Zaraza was born out of a meeting between newly arrived Polish immigrant Jacek (The DoomHammer) and local Montreal industrial/noise artist Grzegorz Haus ov Doom, with the object of fully integrating the extremes of doom/death metal with industrial. At the beginning it was intended to be a grindcore-oriented project, but they soon decided on a more doomy edge, combined with a bombastic symphonic industrial feel.

Zaum (doom metal)
ZAUM is a passage toward the dark realizations of ancient civilization; in the form of a monolithic doomy mantra based meditative experience forged by bass and drums interwoven by sitar and synth textures. Based in New Brunswick, their live presence is very true to its recorded form featuring Kyle Alexander McDonald's both melodic and dark vocal styles met with elements of sectional Mongolian throat singing. Observers experience a calming process of reality whereby the astral and physical planes can co-exist and be understood from a natural perspective. Their debut album Oracles released in June 2014 was heavily reviewed - subject to much critical acclaim primarily throughout Europe. - Zaum
