Utrecht, Netherlands — black metal and raw black metal of the most uncompromising kind. Active since 2016, they deal in frigid atmospherics and razor-wire guitar tone. Blast beats and shrieked vocals create an impenetrable wall of darkness.
Raw black metal project from Mikkeli in eastern Finland, formed in 2025 and delivering lo-fi, stripped-back compositions. Their Finnish name meaning "chamber" evokes the claustrophobic, enclosed atmosphere of their raw sound.
Dutch black metal and raw black metal act, active since 2017 delivering second-wave ferocity filtered through modern production sensibilities. Rooted in the Low Countries' prolific death metal tradition, their recordings conjure desolation through sheets of tremolo-picked guitar.
Raw black metal project from London, formed in 2021 and dedicated to the lo-fi, unprocessed end of the black metal spectrum. The project strips the genre down to its most primitive and hostile essentials.
Raw black metal project from Paris, formed in 2025 and delivering lo-fi, stripped-back compositions from the French capital. Their catalepsy-derived name evokes the death-like trance at the core of their raw sound.
Raw black metal project from Kothen in Saxony-Anhalt, active since 2015 and delivering deliberately lo-fi, stripped-back compositions. Their unpolished aesthetic embraces the most primitive traditions of the genre.
The Swedish city of Gothenburg serves as headquarters for this black metal and raw black metal operation, whose arsenal includes corrosive riffing and misanthropic atmosphere. Frostbitten riffing and anti-cosmic lyrical themes define their output.
Raw black metal project from Lahti in southern Finland, formed in 2024 and delivering lo-fi, stripped-back compositions. Their name combining "dungeon" and "angel" imagery captures the paradox of beauty within rawness.
Part of the frozen north that birthed an entire genre, this act channels black metal and raw black metal with a focus on tremolo-picked fury and blast-beat savagery. Formed in 2024, raw production values serve the music's unvarnished intensity.
