One-man black/death project by Brungard, risen from the ashes of Howls of Ebb. Released on the prestigious I, Voidhanger Records.
Black metal project from Brussels, Belgium, active since 2006. Operating from the heart of the Belgian capital, they craft dark, atmospheric black metal that reflects two decades of dedication to the genre's uncompromising aesthetic.
One-man atmospheric black metal project from Vienna, Austria, established by BS in 2020. Across three numbered releases, Herztod channels solitary melancholy into layered atmospheric compositions that blur the line between depressive black metal and ambient introspection.
Named after their Inland Empire hometown, Hesperia (CA) have been trafficking in death metal since 2018 with a directness that reflects the working-class sprawl of their surroundings. Unadorned brutality from a corner of California metal that rarely gets the attention it deserves.
Philadelphia's Hessian strip the genre back to its most feral components — black metal ferocity, speed metal momentum, and the raw bite of early thrash. Since 2014 they've operated at the intersection where aggression meets velocity.
Atlanta's Hessian favor the unfiltered and abrasive end of black metal, trading atmosphere for confrontation in the raw black tradition. The project dispenses with polish entirely, prioritizing a corroded, static-soaked hostility.
Stoner doom metal act from Suffolk in East Anglia, active since 2015. Their tribal name adds a primal quality to heavy, groove-laden compositions from England's rural eastern counties.
Post-metal and depressive black metal project from Kosice, Czech Republic, formed in 2018. Their sound merges the atmospheric weight of post-metal with the emotional desolation of depressive black metal.
Venomous Atmospheric Black Metal from Fort Wayne, Indiana/San Antonio.
