Black/speed metal act from Koblenz, Germany, formed in 2024, merging the atmospheric darkness of black metal with speed metal's breakneck velocity. Their approach channels the classic first-wave energy of black/speed metal with fresh intensity.
Rising from Jangrot's metal underground, this Polish act forges Black Metal built on corrosive riffing and misanthropic atmosphere. Frostbitten riffing and anti-cosmic lyrical themes define their output.
Stubbornly devoted to the riff, this black metal and death metal act from Poland traffics in tremolo-picked fury and blast-beat savagery. Since 2009, they've built a catalog that reflects Poland's relentlessly productive underground.

Blackened thrash metal act from the Aalst/Haaltert area in East Flanders, Belgium, hammering out aggressive, punk-infused thrash since 2010. Their approach fuses the speed and venom of thrash with black metal's darkness and first-wave punk attitude.
Black/death/doom metal project from Minsk, Belarus, weaving together three of extreme metal's darkest subgenres since 2019. Their multi-faceted approach creates a dense, suffocating sound that draws from each genre's most oppressive qualities.
