Black metal project from Buckingham, active since 2020. Their tracks spanning titles like Okkult and Sinner explore occult and spiritual themes through raw, uncompromising black metal.
Beelzeebuth was a death/black metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, that formed and dissolved within the 2020s as an unsigned underground act. Distinct from the similarly-named Beelzeebubth from Salvador, this São Paulo project operated in the raw, extreme end of Brazilian death-black metal — a tradition with deep roots in the city's prolific underground scene — before splitting up after a brief run.
Black metal project from Gelderland, emerging in 2022. Their compositions draw from the wellspring of second-wave Scandinavian tradition while filtering it through the cultural context of their Dutch origins.
German blackened thrash metal band from Augsburg, formed in 2014. They fuse the speed of thrash metal with black metal's raw aggression and darkened atmosphere.
Solo experimental black metal project from Flanders, Belgium, originally started as ZERKEN in 2009 before adopting its current name. The project blends raw black metal with noise and ambient elements, with releases spanning demos and compilation tapes across a decade of sporadic activity.
Uncompromising death metal from Vladivostok, active since 2009. Their material trades in the genre's heaviest traditions: cavernous vocals, churning guitar work, and percussion that hits with tectonic force.
German black metal band from Schleswig-Holstein, formed in 2018. They channel cold, northern black metal from Germany's most northerly state.
Nybro-based black metal act active since 2020, channeling the genre's core tenets of tremolo-driven riffing and blast-beat fury through a Swedish lens. Their recordings maintain a commitment to the raw, unvarnished aesthetic that defines underground black metal.
Filth-encrusted raw black metal from Gävle, forged in 2015. Intentionally abrasive production values serve as a weapon, wrapping venomous riffs and shrieked vocals in a blanket of corrosive static.
