German black metal project formed in 2024, whose sound has evolved from pure black metal toward a black/death metal hybrid. Their darkening trajectory reflects a deepening commitment to extremity.

London black/death metal duo formed in 2020, citing Blasphemy, Profanatica, Black Witchery, and Teitanblood among their influences. Their 2026 single Eternal Hecatomb delivers primitive, bestial war metal with charnel atmospherics after a six-year hiatus.
