Goot is a Russian gothic metal project formed in St. Petersburg in 2017, consisting of the duo Goot (vocals, guitars) and Theodor Borovski (keyboards).
Emerging from the fertile underground metal scene of Russia, they pivot away from the symphonic tropes of their peers in favor of a more minimalist, doom-influenced sound. Their sound identity is built on monolithic guitar riffs, slow-tempo percussion, and prominent, atmospheric synth work that draws heavily from 1980s darkwave and 1990s peace-ville three doom. Since their debut, they have maintained a prolific release schedule, including the notable 'Destitute Souls' (2019) and 'God's Doubt' (2022). Critical consensus highlights their ability to blend the crushing weight of metal with a vulnerable, almost confessional lyrical approach. They occupy a specific niche for collectors of 'depressive' subgenres, bridging the gap between traditional gothic metal and the more modern, atmospheric post-metal movements. Their influence web connects the early pioneers of British doom to the contemporary Russian dark-folk scene.
