German black metal project formed in 2015, named after the old German word for witch. Their sound channels occult black metal through a lens of Germanic folklore and dark mysticism.
Viennese black metal project formed in 2024, emerging from the Austrian underground scene. Still in their early stages, they draw on the raw traditions of European black metal.
Chicago's Haggathorn emerged in 2019 as part of the city's active black metal underground, bringing the thorny, aggressive character their name implies to a scene more often associated with death metal. Cold, atmospheric, and unrelenting.
An uncompromising black metal project from Hadeland/Ringerike, active since 2016. Their approach balances melodic undertones with the genre's most aggressive impulses.
Raw black metal solo project from Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, self-described as 'the undestructable Spirit of Nature.' Their 2022 debut March of the Storm, released on cassette through New Era Productions, delivers three tracks of lo-fi, nature-inspired black metal aggression.
Salt Lake City's Hagraven channels the rowdy spirit of black 'n' roll — black metal's blackened edge colliding with hard rock swagger — since their 2023 formation. Against Utah's austere backdrop, they're a wild anomaly.
Austrian old witching black metal band from Linz, conjuring occult atmospheres since 2019. Their discography includes They Ride Along, a split with Hexenbrett, and the album Revelry of a Maltreated Jade, all steeped in witchcraft-themed imagery.
Danish black metal project from Gedved/Djursland, active since 2012. Their cultic approach channels ritualistic black metal from the Jutland peninsula.
Born in the savage underground of Riihimäki, this black/death metal act has delivered unflinching intensity since 2010. Their approach balances melodic undertones with the genre's most aggressive impulses.
