Halo of Miasma is a black metal project from Poland, active since 2018 and forging dark, aggressive extremity within the Poland black metal scene. The project channels the unrelenting intensity of the genre.
A thunderous ambient/black metal entity from Darlington, contributing to the british underground since 2004. Icy melodies interwoven with blast-beaten fury characterize their output.
Out of Concord, New Hampshire, Halo Pus strip black metal down to its most primitive bones — cold riffs, hissing production, and an atmosphere that feels like winter on a dead road. Raw and uncompromising since 2020.

Their album Sermons Of The Black Flame delivers skilled guitarwork, accomplished songwriting, and diverse vocals across eight tracks of melodically informed black metal.

Halsfang is a black metal project from Toulouse, France, active since 2013 and forging dark, aggressive extremity within the France black metal scene. The project channels the unrelenting intensity of the genre.
