Dutch avant-garde metal, black metal, and death metal act, active since 2019 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.
Avant-garde black metal project from Germany, formed in 2024 with a name meaning "bone heart." Their experimental approach pushes black metal into unconventional, artistically ambitious territory.
Korova was an avant-garde black metal band from Innsbruck, Austria, active from 1990 through 2000 under that name. Taking their name from the milk bar in A Clockwork Orange, the band released their debut A Kiss in the Charnel Fields in 1995, one of the few early avant-garde black metal records to emerge from Austria. The band evolved through successive name changes — Korovakill (2000–2011) and Chryst (2011–2013) — exploring increasingly experimental territory across their lifespan.
Avant-garde black metal project from Finland, formed in 2024 with a Finnish name meaning "cosmic goat." Their experimental approach pushes black metal into surreal, unconventional territory with a distinctly absurdist edge.
Avant-garde metal band from the small Czech town of Vodnany, whose 2016 Bestie EP blends black metal, death metal, and alternative influences across five tracks. Their experimental approach defies easy categorization, mixing heavy extremity with unconventional songwriting.
Straddling the line between avant-garde metal and black metal, this Irish actfrom Cork fuses dissonant chord progressions shrouded in reverb-drenched malice into a cohesive whole. They've been at it since 2013, and atmosphere and hostility share equal billing in their work.
