Soulmass is a Florida death-doom band formed in 2013, weaving the morbid atmosphere of doom metal into a death metal framework. Their sound pulls from the slow, crushing traditions of both genres, reflecting Florida's deep history in extreme music.

Sumptus Ignis is a progressive death/doom metal band from Key Largo, Florida, formed in 2017, weaving dense, slow-burning compositions that balance mournful doom passages with technical death metal aggression.

Panama City, Florida's The Killing Toke have been building their sprawling black/death/doom hybrid since 2013, drawing from across the extreme metal spectrum without ever sounding scattered. Their name gestures toward the psychedelic, and indeed there's a haze running through their music that softens the brutality just enough to add disorientation to the dread. They're a singular entry in the Florida panhandle underground — a region better known for beach towns than for extreme metal.

Gainesville's Wharflurch formed in 2019, emerging from the North Florida college town that has always punched above its weight in underground music with a death-doom sound that feels genuinely swamp-adjacent — slow, putrefying, and emanating something deeply unpleasant. Gainesville's humidity and proximity to old Florida wilderness seeps into everything, and Wharflurch sounds like it grew up from the ground rather than being constructed. Death-doom for the subtropics.
