Black metal project from Paris, France active since 2016. They explore misanthropic themes through raw black metal from the French capital.
Augusta, Georgia's End the Sun drag black metal and doom into a bleak, slow-burning collision — the kind of music that sounds like a sky turning the wrong color before a storm. Since 2016, they've been one of the deeper South's most atmospherically menacing heavy acts.
When Endalok emerged in 2016 from Akureyri, they brought with them a sound rooted in black metal — all raw, lo-fi aggression channeled through kvlt aesthetics. Lo-fi authenticity lends their recordings a genuinely oppressive character.
Atmospheric black metal project from Basel, Switzerland, conjuring immersive, textured darkness since 2017. Their evocative name describes their musical mission: to transform brightness into shadow through layers of tremolo-picked atmosphere.
German project that evolved from various styles into atmospheric black metal and ambient, active since 2012. Their name, German for "end" followed by a period, reflects the finality and silence that permeates their atmospheric compositions.
Endeathed is a black metal band from Bogotá, Colombia, formed in 2018 and placed on hold in 2022 after releasing material through Azermedoth Records. Their discography includes the 2018 debut "A Deafening Void", the 2020 release "SEVEN", and the 20-track 2021 album "Deus/truction", with lyrical themes centered on darkness, death, occultism, and misanthropy.
A solitary American black metal project that emerged in 2023, Endеløs takes its Norwegian-inflected name as a statement of aesthetic intent — cold, atmospheric, and rooted in the orthodox black metal tradition.
Part of the frozen north that birthed an entire genre, this act channels black metal with a focus on tremolo-picked fury and blast-beat savagery. Formed in 2021, based in Hønefoss, raw production values serve the music's unvarnished intensity.
Dnipro-based black metal act, active since 2011 delivering venomous shrieks over walls of distortion. Rooted in one of Eastern Europe's most resilient metal scenes, the compositions unfold with ritualistic patience and venomous intent.
