Long Island's Evighet — the Swedish word for 'eternity' — has been haunting the New York black metal underground out of Nesconset since 2020. The name's Scandinavian reference signals an act that takes the Norwegian and Swedish roots of the genre seriously, channeling that tradition through an American suburban lens.
The Norwegian city of Oslo serves as headquarters for this black metal operation, whose arsenal includes corrosive riffing and misanthropic atmosphere. Frostbitten riffing and anti-cosmic lyrical themes define their output.
Black/thrash metal band from Lahti, Finland formed in 2019. They fuse black metal darkness with thrash metal speed from southern Finland.
Black, death, and thrash metal band from Reading, England active since 2014. They unleash a triple-headed extreme metal assault from Berkshire.
Evil Church was a black metal band from Fortaleza, Ceará, Brazil, formed in February 2002. The band explored themes of blasphemy, Satanism, and war across a discography that included two demos — "The Lust Satan's Throne" (2005) and "Brains Rotten for Lies" (2007) — and the full-length album "Subjugating the Faith's Crawlers..." released in 2010 through Impaled Records.
Practitioners of black metal, death metal, and doom metal, this Hungarian outfit from Nagyatád has been refining their craft since 2014. Their sound hinges on second-wave ferocity filtered through modern production sensibilities, delivered with dogged persistence.
Bratislava-based black metal act, active since 2020 delivering venomous shrieks over walls of distortion. Rooted in a scene with deep roots in the former Czechoslovak underground, the compositions unfold with ritualistic patience and venomous intent.
Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom — black metal of the most uncompromising kind. Active since 2026, they deal in frigid atmospherics and razor-wire guitar tone. Blast beats and shrieked vocals create an impenetrable wall of darkness.
Massachusetts melodic death and black metal act Evil Earth has been cultivating a sound that sits at the intersection of melody and darkness since 2015. Their approach pulls from both the sweeping melodic death tradition and black metal's colder, more atmospheric tendencies, resulting in music that refuses to settle comfortably into either camp.
