Augurman is a Finnish black metal project emerging in 2026, representing the absolute newest generation of the country's extreme metal artists. Their prophetic name, evoking ancient Roman fortune-tellers, suggests a project looking both backward and forward simultaneously.
West Yorkshire, GB · 2016–present · active
West Yorkshire's Auldfued forge hostile black metal steeped in northern English grimness and raw sonic aggression. Since 2016, the project has maintained an unapologetically underground approach with lo-fi recordings that prioritise atmosphere over polish.
Velika Plana, RS · 2014–present · active
Aura Mortis channels black metal from Velika Plana in the Pomoravlje district since 2014. Their Latin name meaning 'aura of death' drives compositions of spiritual decay from this central Serbian town.
Oslo, NO · 2012–present · active
Aura Noir has been a critical force in black thrash metal from Oslo since their formation, with their 2012-onward activity continuing a legacy that helped define the style alongside Darkthrone and Mayhem members. Their pestilential blend of first-wave black metal ferocity and thrash velocity remains among the most respected in the Norwegian underground.
Belfort, FR · 2013–present · active
Aura Noire merges black metal with symphonic elements from Belfort since 2013, their French-Latin name meaning "black aura" perfectly describing the dark atmosphere that envelops their sound. Over a decade of activity reflects sustained commitment in the Territoire de Belfort.

Auraal blends black and folk metal from the Finnish underground since 2021, weaving traditional elements through extreme metal's dark fabric. Their approach channels the ancient musical traditions of the Finnish countryside through the lens of black metal's ferocity.
NO · 2020–present · active
Auralophobia creates raw black metal from an undisclosed Norwegian location since 2020. Named after the fear of gold — or perhaps a play on 'aural phobia,' the fear of sound — their lo-fi approach embraces the discomfort their name implies.
Kyiv, UA · 2022–present · active
Auratom channels atmospheric black metal from Kyiv since 2022. Their atomic-aura name drives compositions of radiating atmospheric intensity from the Ukrainian capital.
Kecskemét, HU · 2020–present · active
Aurea Aetas channels raw black metal from Kecskemét, the administrative heart of Bács-Kiskun County on the Great Hungarian Plain. Formed in 2020, their name — Latin for 'Golden Age' — carries an ironic weight against their lo-fi sonic hostility.
