Windswept is a Ukrainian black metal trio from Kharkiv, formed in 2017 by Roman Sayenko of Drudkh alongside longtime collaborators.

Their debut The Great Cold Steppe (2017) and second album The Onlooker (2019, Season of Mist) drew from the bleak landscapes of the region, while The Devil's Vertep (2025) took a historically grounded concept — reconstructing the witch trials of 1753–1754 in Western Ukraine — as its thematic framework.
Black metal band from Södermanland, Sweden formed in 2019. Windthrow channels the fallen forests of the Swedish lowlands into raw atmospheric black metal.
