Black metal project from Banja Luka, Bosnia and Herzegovina, formed in 2020. Drawing on the dark mysticism of their Balkan homeland, they craft atmospheric black metal that evokes ancient forests and forgotten realms.
Prolific Austrian black metal project formed in 2021, with a staggering output of over a dozen releases including In Oblivionem, The Immanent Curse, and Drawing Down Daemons From the Stars. Their dark, occult-themed work spans atmospheric and raw black metal with deeply conceptual underpinnings.
Raw black metal project from Germany, active since 2012. Named after the brutal World War II battle in the Hurtgen Forest, they deliver punishing, lo-fi black metal with historical weight.
Atmospheric and progressive black metal project from Vienna, Austria, active since 2010, exploring dark forests, desolate mountaintops, and ancient times. Helmed by Thorn on guitars and vocals, their albums from Ein Nächtlich' Ritt to Over stormskapte fjell employ a deliberately minimalistic approach with sharp riffing and abyssal vocals.
