Thrash metal outfit from Milan, formed in 2018. Their compositions hit with the urgent intensity that defines the genre at its best: fast, tight, and unapologetically aggressive.
Black/thrash metal and punk power trio from Lyon, active since 2019, drawing from Motorhead, Darkthrone, Bathory, and Celtic Frost. Their releases Infernal Bigotry and Armageddon merge first-wave black metal darkness with speed metal and punk aggression, steeped in medieval fantasy and Robert E. Howard references.
Finnish post-black metal band from Valkeakoski, formed in 2021. They deliver brutally atmospheric post-black metal from the Pirkanmaa industrial town.
Spanish black/death metal band from Chiclana de la Frontera in Cádiz province, active since 2008. They deliver bestial slaughter from the Atlantic coast of Andalusia.
England-based project merging black metal's atmospheric bleakness with doom metal's crushing deliberation, active since 2025. Their compositions stretch between glacial tempos and frenzied tremolo passages, creating a dynamic tension between despair and fury.
Porto-based black metal act active since 2016, channeling the genre's core tenets of tremolo-driven riffing and blast-beat fury through a Portuguese lens. Their recordings maintain a commitment to the raw, unvarnished aesthetic that defines underground black metal.
Savage Melodic Black / Death Metal from San Antonio.
Budapest-based doom/sludge outfit active since 2020, dragging their compositions through a swamp of distortion, feedback, and crushing tempos. Their sound sits at the punishing intersection where doom metal's patience meets sludge's confrontational aggression.
Death metal outfit from Szklarska Poręba, formed in 2020. Their sound draws from the genre's foundational playbook of crushing riffs, blast beats, and growled vocals, executed with the conviction of dedicated extremists.
