Degüll is a black metal trio from Santiago, Chile whose music is deeply rooted in Chilean mythology and occultism. Their 2019 album 'Traiguén' draws its track titles — including 'Trauco,' 'Ivunche,' and 'Cueva de Quicaví' — directly from Chilote folklore, and incorporates traditional instruments such as the trompe and bombo legüero alongside conventional black metal instrumentation. The album was recorded by Pedro Millalen at El Patio Producciones and mastered by Álvaro Tapia at Jitaku Records.
Deheubarth is a black/doom metal band from Wales, formed in 2021. Named after the medieval Welsh kingdom, they deliver Welsh-rooted black doom metal.
