NO · 2021–present · active
Straddling the line between black metal and raw black metal, this Norwegian act fuses venomous shrieks over walls of distortion into a cohesive whole. They've been at it since 2021, and the compositions unfold with ritualistic patience and venomous intent.
Terrassa, ES · 2016–present · active
Heavy metal band from Terrassa/Mollet del Valles in the Barcelona metropolitan area, active since 2016 and delivering riff-driven compositions from Catalonia. Their hangover-referencing name adds a rebellious, party-hard edge to their metal.
