Utrecht-based black metal act, active since 2019 delivering dissonant chord progressions shrouded in reverb-drenched malice. Rooted in a country that punches well above its weight in extreme metal, atmosphere and hostility share equal billing in their work.
Black metal project from Switzerland, formed in 2021, whose German name meaning "harvest" evokes themes of reaping and finality. Their atmospheric approach channels the cold, austere aesthetic of Alpine black metal.
Black metal band from Portugal formed in 2023. Their Latin name — meaning "I shall be tomorrow" — adds a philosophical dimension to their raw black metal approach.
Raw black metal project from Germany, formed in 2022, channeling primitive, lo-fi darkness through a deliberately unpolished aesthetic. Their evocative name describes the stripping away of divine illumination through raw, confrontational black metal.

Symphonic death/black metal band from Graz, Austria, featuring orchestral arrangements and choir elements layered over extreme metal foundations since 2014. Their debut "Final Moments in Life" showcases the Mayerwieser brothers on vocals, synths, and guitar alongside a full five-piece lineup creating dense, cinematic metal.
Atmospheric black metal band from Croix near Lille, France, active since 2015. They craft immersive, layered black metal from northern France.
Chicago's Errant grafts the abrasion and cold fury of black metal onto post-metal's patience for expansive, emotionally textured compositions. Formed in 2020, the band channels the Midwest's long winters and urban density into music that is simultaneously claustrophobic and yearning.
Underground to the core, this black metal act from Northern Ireland traffics in tremolo-picked fury and blast-beat savagery. Since 2022, they've built a catalog that reflects the UK's ever-evolving heavy music tradition.
