Finnish black metal project formed in 2011. They deliver raw, transgressive black metal from the Finnish underground.
Gothenburg-based black/thrash metal outfit active since 2018, fusing black metal's atmospheric venom with thrash's riff-driven velocity. Their high-energy sound channels the raw spirit of early Bathory, Sodom, and Destruction.
German black 'n' roll band from Trier, formed in 2023. They fuse black metal's darkness with rock and roll energy for a driving, irreverent sound.
German melodic black metal band from Aichach in Bavaria, formed in 2017. They weave melodic elements into a black metal framework with atmospheric depth.
Punk-infused black metal from Utrecht, formed in 2016. Their short, violent compositions marry crust punk's directness with black metal's atmospheric menace.

Solitary depressive black metal emanating from Biysk, formed in 2020. Their recordings strip black metal to its most emotionally exposed core, favoring repetitive, trance-like structures and vocals wracked with despair.
Atmospheric black metal entity from Sweden, formed in 2014. Their sound envelops the listener in walls of reverb-drenched tremolo picking and shimmering ambient passages that dissolve the boundary between beauty and ferocity.
Finnish black metal band from Rovaniemi, formed in 2017. They channel dark emotions through black metal from Finnish Lapland.
