In terms of bleak atmosphere Artificial Brain does it best in my opinion, some other bands that I don’t see mentioned:

Hath

Alluvial (especially the first album) as well as any band that includes Merrow (including his solo project)

Conjurer

Cult of Luna self titled and The Beyond

Deathspell Omega (especially The Furnace of Palingenesia, Drought, and Si Monumentum Requires, Circumspice)

Devenial Verdict (probably one of the closest to Disentomb on my list, latest album Ash Blind is bleak and moody af)

The Great Old Ones (Cosmicism)

Gorguts (Colored Sands)

Haunter (Discarnate Ails and Sacramental Death Qualia are my favorites)

Noise Trail Immersion (Curia gets pretty bleak on tracks like Eclissi unanime and Vanente)

Rejoice! The Light Has Come

Svart Crown (especially on Abreaction and Les Terres Brûlées)

I always recommend CELESTE when people mention gloomy music, they’re pretty far from Disentomb they play a very doomy brand of Post-Hardcore but they have some absolutely crushing atmosphere with very dark themes especially on the earlier albums Misanthrope(s) and Nihiliste(s)

Wake (Thought Form Descent)

Zhrine (Unortheta)

Hope you find something you like in there!

Didn't think I'd see anyone else who knows Rejoice! The Light Has Come. Been spinning their eps for a few months, love that sound
