Clouds is an international doom metal band founded in 2013 by Daniel „Klepsy” Neagoe. Their music blends elements of atmospheric, death/doom, and funeral doom, naturally focusing on the lyrical exploration of loss, pain, and mourning. A peculiarity of the band is that the title of every album begins with the letter „D”—for example, Doliu, Departe, Dor, Durere—thus emphasizing their thematic unity, which possesses deep emotional and artistic content. Clouds regularly collaborates with guest musicians from the international doom scene, which has helped them gain significant fame and a fanbase even without an independent label. Clouds has now become one of the most acclaimed and authentic bands in the doom metal genre, with music that transcends genre boundaries.

Eclipse of the Sun started in Székesfehérvár and has grown over the years into one of the most exciting and distinctive bands on the Hungarian doom metal scene. The band’s music enriches the heavier doom and death metal foundations with symphonic, oriental, and progressive elements, creating a monumental and atmospheric soundscape. Their first full-length album, Daimonion, was released in 2015 as a concept album dissecting philosophical and moral questions, and the 2020 release, Brave Never World, further deepened and modernized the band’s style.

Innerverse is a Budapest-based post-rock/metal band formed in 2019. The formation is unique in that it blends an atmospheric, ambient sound with broken, proggy rhythms, which they perform completely live without backing tracks. Following their early instrumental releases, they returned to the stage in 2023 with songs featuring vocals and a new spirit, playing at venues like Dürer Kert and Instant (as the opening act for Hexvessel). They are currently working on their first full-length album, titled Right Place, Wrong Time, which is set to be released in the autumn of 2025.
