Italian atmospheric black metal project from Turin, crafting immersive, luminous soundscapes since 2017. Their name, meaning 'light' in Piedmontese, signals the radiant quality within their atmospheric darkness.
Lumnos is the solo atmospheric black metal project of Breno Freire, a multi-instrumentalist from Vitória da Conquista, Bahia, Brazil, active since 2015. Freire, who records under the name Putrefactus, released the debut album Ancient Shadows of Saturn in February 2018, a five-track, 51-minute record built around a concept of ancient life on Saturn. The project draws influence from bands such as Mesarthim, Lustre, and Midnight Odyssey, with lyrical themes spanning space, nature, and transcendence.
French atmospheric black metal band from Nantes, formed in 2022 and crafting immersive, celestially-themed soundscapes. Their name evokes desolate lunar landscapes, reflecting the cold, vast atmosphere of their sound.
German atmospheric black metal project from Nuremberg, crafting immersive, darkly beautiful compositions since 2016. Their approach layers ethereal atmospherics over the raw foundation of black metal aggression.
An Ohio atmospheric black metal project active since 2018, Luring builds suffocating walls of textured tremolo and cavernous ambience that feel less composed than conjured. The result is disorienting and immersive in equal measure.
Galician atmospheric black metal and dark ambient project from northwest Spain, crafting immersive soundscapes since 2016. Their approach blends black metal's intensity with meditative ambient passages rooted in the moody Galician landscape.
Portuguese atmospheric black metal band from Barcelos, formed in 2020 and crafting immersive, emotive compositions. Their name, meaning 'pity' or 'shame,' captures the sorrowful character of their atmospheric approach.
