Black metal project from Nuremberg, active since 2015 and named after the river of lamentation in Greek mythology. Their cold, sorrowful compositions channel ancient underworld imagery through modern black metal.
A product of a scene forged in the crucible of the former Yugoslavia, this Belgrade-based black metal act channels raw, lo-fi aggression channeled through kvlt aesthetics. Active since 2017, lo-fi authenticity lends their recordings a genuinely oppressive character.
Finnish black metal project active since 2014, with a name meaning "din" or "clamor" in Finnish. Their atmospheric output channels the raw noise of the Finnish underground.
Danish black metal project formed in 2021, adding to the country's growing underground scene with cold, aggressive compositions. Their name echoing the Danish word for cold signals alignment with the genre's frost-bitten traditions.
Drammen-based black metal act, active since 2003 delivering dissonant chord progressions shrouded in reverb-drenched malice. Rooted in Norway's storied extreme metal lineage, atmosphere and hostility share equal billing in their work.

Black metal project from the Vendee department of western France, active since 2016 with a Scandinavian-influenced name meaning "cold crypt." Their Nordic-inspired aesthetic channels frozen darkness from the Atlantic coast.
Ukrainian black metal project active since 2021. Their name, meaning 'sorcery' in Slavic, channels the mystical and occult through black metal.
Raw black metal project from Switzerland, active since 2013 and channeling lo-fi, uncompromising black metal in the tradition of the genre's most primitive expressions. Their stripped-down approach prioritizes atmosphere and aggression over production polish.
