Death and black metal act from Nieuwpoort, Belgium, active since 2015. They bring the coastal West Flanders town a dose of extreme metal ferocity.
Forged in 2023 from Athens, this act occupies the war-torn borderland between black and death metal. Their material draws equally from both traditions, pairing atmospheric bleakness with gut-churning heaviness.
German black/doom metal band from the Berchtesgadener Land in the Bavarian Alps, formed in 2019. They craft somber black/doom metal inspired by the dark alpine forests of their mountainous homeland.
Danish black metal band from Copenhagen, formed in 2018. They channel funereal black metal from the Danish capital.
Novocherkassk-based raw black metal project active since 2009, burying its compositions beneath layers of caustic distortion and lo-fi haze. Their uncompromising approach to production channels the most primitive currents of the second wave.

Atmospheric black metal entity from Athens, formed in 1994. Their sound envelops the listener in walls of reverb-drenched tremolo picking and shimmering ambient passages that dissolve the boundary between beauty and ferocity.
Finnish brutal death/black metal band from Saarijärvi, formed in 2023. They deliver burial-mound-dwelling extreme metal from central Finland.
Cold, unrelenting black metal from Prato, active since 2026. Their sound embodies the genre's core principles: razor-sharp tremolo picking, furious drumming, and an atmosphere thick with hostility and darkness.
