A Chance at Life creates depressive black metal from an undisclosed Russian location since 2024. Their desperately hopeful name creates a devastating contrast with the suicidal despair of their DSBM compositions.
South Bend, Indiana black/death metal project. The corvid-themed name — a 'murder' by another word — channels dark omens from the home of Notre Dame.
Phoenix, Arizona black metal project. The tropical ecosystem name contrasts sharply with the Sonoran Desert setting — perhaps longing for the cool, misty habitats that exist only in imagination here.
A Cold Sun channels depressive black metal from an undisclosed Italian location since 2017. Their name evokes the paradox of a star stripped of its warmth, matching the emotional frigidity and isolated despair at the core of their sound.
A Constant Storm blends melodic death and black metal with progressive, gothic, and folk elements from Porto since 2014. Their tempestuous name captures the relentless creative energy driving their genre-spanning approach from Portugal's northern capital.
Los Angeles black metal project whose name reads like a Japanese horror film premise. Supernatural dread reflected back from the City of Angels.
A Day of No Sun crafts melodic black metal from Kraków since 2022. Their sunless-day name evokes the smog-shrouded winters of the former Polish capital, channeling atmospheric darkness through melodic sophistication.
