Death metal outfit from Rožňava, formed in 2014. Their sound draws from the genre's foundational playbook of crushing riffs, blast beats, and growled vocals, executed with the conviction of dedicated extremists.
Glasgow noise and black metal project whose prolific output includes Rotten Pose (released on tape through Tour De Garde), N.K. Ultra, and Semtexejaculate. Their evolution from raw black metal into abrasive power electronics reflects a restless creative vision.
Uncompromising death metal from London, active since 2026. Their material trades in the genre's heaviest traditions: cavernous vocals, churning guitar work, and percussion that hits with tectonic force.
Forged in 2014 from Kharkiv, 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.
Black/thrash metal act from Virserum, formed in 2014. Their compositions hurtle forward at breakneck tempos, driven by the marriage of thrash's precision riffing and black metal's hostile atmosphere.
Italian doom metal act active since 2023, crafting monolithic compositions built on slow-burning riffs and an atmosphere of pervasive heaviness. Their patient approach to songwriting lets each chord ring with crushing finality.
German depressive black metal project formed in 2019. They channel emotional anguish through the bleakest reaches of depressive black metal.
Finnish black metal band from Kuortane in South Ostrobothnia, active since 2006. With nearly two decades of fog-shrouded black metal, they are one of the most atmospheric acts in the Finnish black metal underground.
Black metal project from Sweden, emerging in 2021. Their compositions draw from the wellspring of second-wave Scandinavian tradition while filtering it through the cultural context of their Swedish origins.
