Piedmont-based black metal/noise project active since 2024, submerging their compositions in walls of static and feedback that blur the line between music and pure sonic assault. Their confrontational approach weaponizes dissonance and distortion.
German black metal band from Greifswald on the Baltic coast, formed in 2013. Originally blending black and death metal, they later refined their sound toward a purer black metal direction.
Folk black metal band from Barysaw, Belarus, active since 2013. They interweave folk instrumentation and pagan themes with the ferocity of black metal.
Burning Torment is a death/black metal band from Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil, active since 2014. The band has released two full-length albums — "Darkness Reborn" and "In the Eyes of the Impotent God" (2017) — along with a single, operating as an independent act with themes of death, destruction, anti-Christianity, and chaos.
German black metal band from Leipzig, formed in 2023. They deliver ritualistic black metal offerings from Saxony's cultural capital.
Dutch black metal/punk hybrid active since 2025, smashing together d-beat aggression with tremolo-picked ferocity. Their stripped-down, confrontational approach owes as much to Discharge as to Darkthrone.
Forged in 2016 from Kharkiv, this black metal entity delivers uncompromising extremity built on icy tremolo riffs and relentless percussion. Their work carries the cold, misanthropic spirit that defines the genre's most devoted practitioners.
German speed/black metal band from Kaiserslautern, formed in 2017. They fuse speed metal's breakneck pace with black metal's darkened fury from the Palatinate.
Black metal project from Norrköping, emerging in 2017. Their compositions draw from the wellspring of second-wave Scandinavian tradition while filtering it through the cultural context of their Swedish origins.
