German black/death metal and grindcore project formed in 2024. They merge three strands of extreme metal into a toxic sonic assault.
Cold, unrelenting black metal from Elst, active since 2023. Their sound embodies the genre's core principles: razor-sharp tremolo picking, furious drumming, and an atmosphere thick with hostility and darkness.
Black metal project from Italy, emerging in 2021. Their compositions draw from the wellspring of second-wave Scandinavian tradition while filtering it through the cultural context of their Italian origins.
Depressive black metal project from Embrun in the French Alps, active since 2010. Their music channels bleak atmospheric textures through a raw, lo-fi aesthetic characteristic of the DSBM underground.
German black metal band from Würzburg, formed in 2020. Named after the vast cosmic void, they channel emptiness and darkness into atmospheric black metal.
Black metal project from the Netherlands, emerging in 2024. Their compositions draw from the wellspring of second-wave Scandinavian tradition while filtering it through the cultural context of their Dutch origins.
German depressive and post-black metal project from the Frankfurt-Oberursel area, formed in 2016. They merge depressive black metal's emotional anguish with post-black metal's atmospheric breadth.
Death/doom outfit from the United Kingdom, formed in 2021. Their music inhabits the oppressive space where death metal's aggression meets doom's suffocating weight.
Czech black metal band based between Prague and Pilsen, formed in 2020. They channel the atmospheric darkness of black metal through a distinctly Bohemian sensibility.
