Post-black metal band from Santander in Cantabria, active since 2014 and building atmospheric, expansive compositions from northern Spain's Atlantic coast. Their sound blends black metal's intensity with post-metal's contemplative dynamics.
Crafting their sound since 2023, this Saint Petersburg Atmospheric Black Metal and Black Metal outfit delivers icy tremolo lines cascading over relentless percussion. Their place within Russia's sprawling, uncompromising metal landscape speaks to the depth of the region's heavy music culture.
Polish black metal act, active since 2021 delivering second-wave ferocity filtered through modern production sensibilities. Rooted in the country that produced Behemoth and Vader, their recordings conjure desolation through sheets of tremolo-picked guitar.
Avant-garde black metal project from Finland, formed in 2024 with a Finnish name meaning "cosmic goat." Their experimental approach pushes black metal into surreal, unconventional territory with a distinctly absurdist edge.
When Kosteus emerged in 2025 from Luhansk, they brought with them a sound rooted in black metal and raw black metal — all frigid atmospherics and razor-wire guitar tone. Blast beats and shrieked vocals create an impenetrable wall of darkness.
Moscow-based black/doom metal band with releases including Dissolved In The Abyss, Spirit Of Plague, and Temple Pestis, the latter released through Daemon Worship Productions. Their sound merges black metal's blasting ferocity with doom metal's crushing weight and pestilent atmospherics.
Black metal project from the UK, formed in 2020 and rooted in the genre's traditions of atmospheric darkness and corrosive aggression. The project channels black metal's raw power through a distinctly underground lens.
Folk/black metal project from Finland, active since 2011 and weaving Finnish folk traditions into black metal. Their over-a-decade output channels the deep-rooted mythology of the Finnish countryside.
Emerging from Medvyn, this Ukrainian act forges Black Metal and Thrash Metal built on corrosive riffing and misanthropic atmosphere. Frostbitten riffing and anti-cosmic lyrical themes define their output.
