Atmospheric black metal entity from Ukraine, formed in 2018. Their sound envelops the listener in walls of reverb-drenched tremolo picking and shimmering ambient passages that dissolve the boundary between beauty and ferocity.
Forged in 2012 from Rijeka, this black metal entity delivers uncompromising extremity built on icy tremolo riffs and relentless percussion. Their work carries the cold, misanthropic spirit that defines the genre's most devoted practitioners.
Spanish black metal band from Soutomaior in Galicia, formed in 2018. They deliver atmospheric black metal from the misty forests of northwestern Spain.
German black metal and ambient project from Stralsund, formed in 2008. They pair raw black metal with ambient textures, creating an atmospheric sound from the Baltic coast.
Finnish black metal band from Salo, formed in 2020. They forge dark black metal from the southwestern Finnish countryside.
Black metal project from Gomel, Belarus, active since 2020. Named after Tolkien's fiery demons, they forge black metal from eastern Belarus.
Oslo-based black metal act active since 2025, channeling the genre's core tenets of tremolo-driven riffing and blast-beat fury through a Norwegian lens. Their recordings maintain a commitment to the raw, unvarnished aesthetic that defines underground black metal.
Melodic death metal outfit from Albufeira/Faro/Silves, formed in 2023. Twin-guitar harmonies and soaring lead work temper the brutality of blast beats and growled vocals, creating compositions that are both punishing and anthemic.
Cold, unrelenting black metal from Afidnes, active since 2021. Their sound embodies the genre's core principles: razor-sharp tremolo picking, furious drumming, and an atmosphere thick with hostility and darkness.
