Kasbeel is a black metal band from Temuco, Chile, signed to Australis Records, whose name is drawn from the fallen angel Kasbeel described in the Book of Enoch — the guardian who rebelled against God after witnessing his self-crowning. Their 2015 full-length Rebellion and Opposition, recorded at Acusti-k Studios in Temuco, delivers raw and violent black metal with satanic and anti-Christian themes, drawing comparisons to Darkthrone and Marduk.
Black metal band from Bristol, active since 2015 and rooted in the atmospheric and aggressive currents of the genre. Their sound channels the raw intensity and dark atmosphere that define the UK's underground black metal scene.
