Nicosia, CY · 2022–present · active
Cypriot black/death metal act from Nicosia formed in 2022, representing the small but fierce Mediterranean island's extreme metal underground. Their fusion of blackened atmospherics with death metal's rhythmic brutality draws from both Greek and Northern European influences.

Cypriot black metal band from Nicosia, active since 2017 and representing the island's underground extreme scene. Their funeral-themed name channels the mournful, death-focused character of their black metal.
Cologne, DE · 2016–present · active
