Black metal and speed metal act from Kaunas, Lithuania, formed in 2019. Christless channels raw, blasphemous aggression through a classic black-speed metal template.
Louisville black/death hybrid Christlier fuses the caustic atmosphere of black metal with death metal's brutality into a dense, unrelenting sound. Their music draws from Kentucky's historically fertile underground extreme metal community.
Christophobia is a black metal band from Arapongas, Paraná, Brazil, formed in 2014 and signed to Rotthenness Records. Their sound draws on old-school black metal with themes of anti-dogmatism, satanism, and death, blending dense, melancholic passages with fast and aggressive riffing. The band released the EP "Lágrimas de Sangue" in 2018 and has continued releasing material through their Bandcamp page.
Lexington, Kentucky black/thrash act Christrape channels the genre's most confrontational impulses into a raw and venomous sound. Their approach draws on the first-wave black metal and speed metal traditions that defined the genre's most corrosive early output.
Black-thrash metal band from Grossbruchter in Thuringia, Germany, formed in 2014. They deliver blasphemous, high-speed black-thrash from the rural German heartland.
Richmond, Virginia's Chrome Huffer collides black metal, death metal, and thrash into a filthy, genre-blurring assault with a distinctly underground character. Their sound carries the grit and attitude of Richmond's historically strong DIY metal scene.
Chicago post-black metal act Chrome Waves weaves depressive atmosphere and shoegaze texture into their tremolo-heavy compositions, creating music that is introspective as much as it is punishing. Their work is emotionally dense, drawing from both the coldness of black metal and the haze of dream-pop.
Clementon, New Jersey's Chronepsis blends melodic black metal, death metal, and raw blackened fury into a sound steeped in dark fantasy and mythological themes. Their music balances aggression with melodic sweep drawn from the Scandinavian melodic extreme metal tradition.
Black-thrash metal band from Frederikshavn in northern Jutland, Denmark, formed in 2024. They fuse black metal darkness with thrash metal speed.
