Aurich, DE · 2016–present · active

Hilbersdorf, DE · 2020–present · active

Martigues, FR · 2024–present · active
Silent Tower fuses black metal's bleakness with doom metal's crushing weight from the Provencal town of Martigues, formed in 2024. Their Mediterranean origins add an unusual geographic context to an otherwise Northern European-influenced sonic palette.
Rees, DE · 2014–present · active

Kokkola, FI · 2013–present · active

Oer-Erkenschwick, DE · 2012–present · active
