Brand new as of 2026, Enthroning Nightfall carries the primal fury of raw black metal forward with an intensity that suggests ambition beyond their brief existence — the name alone promises a project steeped in darkness and ceremony.
Enthropy is a black metal band from Canela, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, formed in 2013. The band released the album "Disorder of the Universe and the Expansion to the End" in 2022, pursuing an extreme and atmospheric approach to the genre.
