Black metal and ambient project from Portugal, active since 2018. The project blends black metal's hostility with ambient atmospherics.

Italian black metal project active since 2020, channeling occult darkness through black metal.
Ibiza-based black metal project active since 2015, creating a striking contrast between the island's hedonistic reputation and their occult-tinged extremity. Named with a Latin phrase meaning 'hidden stone,' their work trades in alchemical and esoteric themes.
Berlin doom/black metal act operating since 2010, pairing doom's glacial pacing with black metal's tonal bleakness. Over fifteen years in the German capital's vast underground, they have carved out a niche in the intersection of these two dark traditions.
Zwolle melodic black/doom metal act active since 2014, pairing black metal's frigid atmosphere with doom's crushing deliberateness. Over a decade in the Overijssel capital, they have cultivated a distinctly melancholic style that favors mood over speed.
Melodic black metal band from Riga, Latvia, active since 2017. Their infernal-themed name accompanies melodic black metal from the Baltic capital.
Dutch atmospheric black metal project active since 2019, crafting immersive, textural compositions that prioritize atmosphere over aggression. Their Latin name -- meaning 'empty eye' -- captures the void-gazing, contemplative character of their work.
