Stockholm-based death metal act active since 2023, trafficking in the genre's essential currency of guttural vocals, down-tuned riffs, and relentless percussive punishment. Their compositions deliver uncompromising heaviness rooted in the old-school tradition.
Black/thrash metal act from Stockholm, formed in 2013. Their compositions hurtle forward at breakneck tempos, driven by the marriage of thrash's precision riffing and black metal's hostile atmosphere.
Spanish black/death metal band from León, formed in 2020. They forge bestial black/death metal from the historic city of northwestern Spain.
Beastkrieg is a bestial black thrash metal band from São Carlos, São Paulo state, Brazil, formed in 2013. Drawing from the classic South American extreme metal lineage — Sarcófago, Impurity, Holocausto, and Mystifier — alongside old-world forebears Venom, Bathory, and Hellhammer, the band plays blasting, blasphemous black-thrash rooted in lust, Satan, and chaos. Their 2014 album "Graveyard Rite (Alcoholic Ceremony of Baphometic Worship)" captures the raw, primitive spirit they operate in.
Finnish black/thrash metal band from Tampere and Lempäälä, formed in 2016. They fuse black metal's darkness with thrash metal's speed from the Pirkanmaa region.
Solo atmospheric and post-black metal project from London, created by multi-instrumentalist David Ravengarde in 2012. The debut album Providence explores life, death, and the beyond through extended compositions of extreme euphoric metal, blending melodic black metal with doom and folk-tinged atmospherics.
Romanian atmospheric black metal project active since 2001, layering ethereal textures and tremolo-picked melodies over blast-driven foundations. Their compositions explore vast emotional terrain through cascading guitars and immersive soundscapes.
Forged in 2018 from Khabarovsk, 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.
French symphonic black metal band from Limoges, active since 2000. With two-and-a-half decades of desolate beauty, they are one of central France's most established symphonic black metal acts.
