Black metal act from Pontoise near Paris, France active since 2018. They channel blasphemous black metal from the northern suburbs of the French capital.
Pe Ell, Washington — population barely over 600 — has been home to Entrain's black metal since 1994, a rural isolation that feeds directly into their sound: raw, expansive, and shaped by the vast quiet of deep Pacific Northwest timber country.
Chicago's Entrancemperium channels ferocious, orthodox black metal through a project that started in 2024 but sounds rooted in decades of genre tradition — raw production, relentless hostility, and a devotion to black metal's most uncompromising principles.
Entrancemperium is a black metal project from Punta Arenas, Chile — a city the band describes as "the end of the world" in reference to its remote location at the southern tip of the continent. Formed in January 2020, the band released their debut DEMO MMXXIV in February 2024, a two-track instrumental release in the black metal tradition.
Formed in 2021, Entrantment operates in the borderland between black and death metal where both genres' most savage qualities converge — the icy malevolence of the former pressed hard against the visceral brutality of the latter, with no territory conceded to either.
Progressive black/post-metal project from Leipzig, Germany, formed in 2024, pushing the boundaries of extreme metal through ambitious, atmospheric compositions. Their approach merges the intensity of black metal with the textural depth of post-metal and progressive structures.
A product of Scandinavia's melodic death metal epicenter, this Västerås-based black metal, speed metal, and thrash metal act channels pre-thrash intensity with a melodic edge. Active since 2011, their catalog reveals a band unafraid to explore the darker corners of heavy music.
Virginia black metal project Entroper emerged in 2025 from Murfreesboro, conjuring icy tremolo-picked atmospheres and misanthropic rawness from the mid-Atlantic interior.
Black, death, and symphonic metal band from Mornay-sur-Allier in central France, active since 2012. They blend symphonic grandeur with extreme metal ferocity from rural Auvergne.
