Drawing on the ancient Gaulish deity for their name, Los Angeles act Esus in Tenebris fuse pagan imagery with cold, atmospheric black metal darkness. Their 2021 formation marks a project built around ritual atmosphere and heathen conviction.
Hønefoss-based black metal act, active since 2021 delivering venomous shrieks over walls of distortion. Rooted in Norway's storied extreme metal lineage, the compositions unfold with ritualistic patience and venomous intent.
Blackened doom metal act from Zurich, Switzerland, fusing the atmospheric bleakness of black metal with the crushing weight of doom since 2018. Their approach creates a suffocating, slow-burning darkness rooted in two of extreme metal's most oppressive subgenres.
Drawing from Levice's musical fabric, this Slovak act forges Black Metal and Depressive Black Metal built on second-wave ferocity filtered through modern production sensibilities. Their recordings conjure desolation through sheets of tremolo-picked guitar.
Philadelphia's Et in Arcadia Ego borrow their name from the memento mori tradition, applying that fatalistic weight to stark, aggressive black metal. The project has been carving its grim pastoral into the underground since 2023.
Hungarian black metal act, active since 2017 delivering second-wave ferocity filtered through modern production sensibilities. Rooted in the Magyar underground's distinctive voice, their recordings conjure desolation through sheets of tremolo-picked guitar.
Silver Spring's Et Mors traffic in the slowest, most suffocating corners of funeral doom and black metal, constructing cathedrals of grief note by agonizing note. Since 2017, the project has pursued an uncompromising vision of sonic desolation.
When Et Mortuus Est in Luce emerged in 2014 from Moscow, they brought with them a sound rooted in black metal and doom metal — all raw, lo-fi aggression channeled through kvlt aesthetics. Lo-fi authenticity lends their recordings a genuinely oppressive character.
