London-based duo merging doom metal's crushing weight with post-black metal's atmospheric sweep since 2020. Their compositions drift between suffocating heaviness and ethereal expanses, evoking swampland desolation.
Melodic black metal outfit from Russia, formed in 2016. Layers of orchestration and twin-guitar harmonies elevate their compositions beyond standard black metal into more expansive territory.
Trondheim-based melodic black/death metal act active since 2018, threading sweeping melodies through a framework of extreme metal aggression. Their sound occupies the intersection where tremolo-picked black metal atmospherics meet death metal's guttural weight.
Uncompromising death metal from The Hague, active since 2015. Their material trades in the genre's heaviest traditions: cavernous vocals, churning guitar work, and percussion that hits with tectonic force.
Cold, unrelenting black metal from Bucharest, active since 2014. Their sound embodies the genre's core principles: razor-sharp tremolo picking, furious drumming, and an atmosphere thick with hostility and darkness.
Black, death, and thrash metal band from the Zonhoven/As area of Belgium, active since 2012. They fuse elements from across the extreme metal spectrum into a boundary-pushing hybrid attack.
Warsaw-based black/thrash metal outfit active since 2015, fusing black metal's atmospheric venom with thrash's riff-driven velocity. Their high-energy sound channels the raw spirit of early Bathory, Sodom, and Destruction.
French raw black metal project formed in 2022. They deliver corpse-bloody raw black metal from the French underground.
Finnish blackened melodic death metal band from Laitila, formed in 2023. They merge black metal's darkness with melodic death metal harmonies under a bloody moon.
