Augrimmer is a black metal band from Gunzburg in Swabia, Germany, active since 2009, whose discography spanning Autumnal Heavens, From the Lone Winters Cold, Nothing Ever Was, Moth and the Moon, and beyond is characterized by primitive old-school yet atmospheric black metal with rich melodies. Their releases appear in limited physical editions, including hand-numbered vinyl pressings of two hundred fifty copies.
Denver black metal project whose 2017 EP Shadows of the Black Cross channels prophetic doom through atmospheric extremity. The name — meaning one who divines the future — fits their ominous sound.
Augure Funèbre channels black metal from the southern Cévennes town of Alès since 2012, their French name meaning "funeral omen" setting the tone for over a decade of dark, foreboding compositions. Their Gard department origins connect them to Languedoc's extreme metal underground.
Augurman is a Finnish black metal project emerging in 2026, representing the absolute newest generation of the country's extreme metal artists. Their prophetic name, evoking ancient Roman fortune-tellers, suggests a project looking both backward and forward simultaneously.
San Diego black metal project whose deliberately archaic name hints at old-world mysticism, channeling medieval darkness through Southern California's extreme metal underground.
West Yorkshire's Auldfued forge hostile black metal steeped in northern English grimness and raw sonic aggression. Since 2016, the project has maintained an unapologetically underground approach with lo-fi recordings that prioritise atmosphere over polish.
South Carolina black metal act emerging from the Palmetto State's underground, channeling Southern isolation and humidity into raw atmospheric extremity.
Aume is an atmospheric folk black metal project from Vicuña in Chile's Coquimbo region, created and performed entirely by Averso Yekamush. The project weaves Andean folk traditions into a black metal framework, and their 2020 debut album Fulgor Renegrido — a nine-track record described as a pilgrimage through Chilean earthly and mythological imagery — received a limited cassette release through Ancient Entity Records in the UK.
California black metal project drawing inspiration from the northern lights phenomenon, weaving cosmic atmospherics through tremolo-picked darkness with a West Coast sensibility.
