Black/death metal band from Grevena in northwestern Greece, merging the ferocity of death metal with the atmospheric darkness of Hellenic black metal. Their name, derived from the Greek word for "subterranean," signals their engagement with chthonic mythology and underworld themes.
Coimbra, PT · 2022–present · active
When Katacumba emerged in 2022 from Coimbra, they brought with them a sound rooted in death metal and thrash metal — all percussive blast-beat onslaughts and cavernous production. Low-tuned guitars and guttural vocals form the bedrock of their attack.
Groningen, NL · 2022–present · active
