Dead Marshland is a black metal band from Asselfingen, Germany, formed in 2022. They channel the desolation of their namesake through cold, atmospheric black metal.
Emerging from New Jersey's Pine Barrens since 2011, Dead Mountain channel the ancient, forested bleakness of that strange and isolated landscape into raw, atmospheric black metal. The region's folklore and desolation seep through every track.
Born from the grime and bleached-out sprawl of Las Vegas, Dead Neon fuse blackened crust punk with suffocating sludge, conjuring a sound as harsh and unforgiving as the Nevada desert. Their music carries the corroded spirit of a city that never quite cleans up after itself.
Hailing from the wide, isolated stretches of West Texas, Dead of Night channel melodic black metal into something windswept and desolate, fitting for the Midessa landscape that shaped them. Cold harmonics and raw atmosphere define their approach.
Baltimore's Dead Peasants deal in raw, unpolished black metal with a working-class fury that mirrors the city's gritty industrial identity. Their sound is stripped-down and vicious, with no interest in atmosphere for its own sake.
Dead Pleasure is a black metal band from Labin, Croatia, active since 2010. The band channel raw black metal intensity from the Croatian underground.
Indianapolis' Dead Princess Black Unicorn splice industrial machinery into the bones of black and stoner metal, arriving at something genuinely strange and hard to categorize. The juxtaposition of heaviness and mechanical noise gives them a personality few acts can match.
Dead Rascal is a raw black metal band from Kropyvnytskyi, Ukraine, formed in 2022. The project channels lo-fi raw black metal.
Dead Shell of Universe plays black metal from Pancevo near Belgrade, active since 2019 and channeling cosmic emptiness through atmospheric, tremolo-driven compositions. Their name evokes a universe drained of life — a hollow cosmic carcass that their music inhabits.
