Black metal project from Goor in Overijssel, formed in 2020. Choronzon — named after the demon of the abyss in occult tradition — channels ritualistic black metal.
Choronzonic is a black metal band from Patos de Minas, Minas Gerais, Brazil. The band released the EP "Where Evil Dwells" in April 2019, a three-track release with lyrics in both Portuguese and English built around Satanic and occult themes. They release music independently through Bandcamp and are documented on Encyclopaedia Metallum.
Post-black-sludge act from Poznań, formed in 2020. Choroszcz — named after a Polish town — blends atmospheric black metal with sludge and post-metal textures.
Black 'n' roll band from Bern, Switzerland, formed in 2020. Their debut Tuufuswark blends black metal ferocity with rock swagger, delivered with provocative Swiss German dialect lyrics across ten tracks.
Polish melodic black metal pioneers from Morąg and later Olsztyn, with roots stretching back to 1990. Christ Agony is one of Poland's oldest and most respected black metal acts, with over three decades of blasphemous output.
New York black metal act Christ Deception operate in the raw, adversarial tradition of the American underground, keeping their sound stripped of anything that might compromise its hostility. Bleak and confrontational.
Los Angeles raw black metal act Christ Desecration traffic in primitive, lo-fi blasphemy in the Southern California underground tradition. Nothing clean, nothing polished, nothing forgiving.
Relentless Black Metal out of Texas.
New Orleans' Christ Inversion fold industrial noise and sludge heaviness into their black metal framework, producing something as murky and corrosive as the city they call home. Genuinely strange and unsettling.
