Black metal project from Yorkshire, active since 2012 and rooted in the atmospheric and aggressive traditions of the genre. Their sound channels the dark intensity of the Yorkshire moors into corrosive black metal.
Part of Russia's sprawling, uncompromising metal landscape, this act channels black metal and death metal with a focus on tremolo-picked fury and blast-beat savagery. Formed in 2016, based in Kaliningrad, raw production values serve the music's unvarnished intensity.
Black metal project Koffinmoon emerged in 2022 from Kodiak, Alaska — one of the most geographically isolated settings imaginable for this music. The remoteness is audible: their sound carries the weight of long winters and vast, empty terrain in a way few black metal acts can genuinely claim.
German black metal project formed in 2018, delivering cold, atmospheric compositions from the underground. Their minimalist approach strips black metal to its most essential, harrowing elements.
Bavarian black metal project formed in 2024, with a name meaning "coal-black" or "pitch-black" in German. Their sound channels the darkest extremes of the genre from the forests of southern Germany.
When Kohr emerged in 2012 out of Russia, they brought with them a sound rooted in black metal — all raw, lo-fi aggression channeled through kvlt aesthetics. Lo-fi authenticity lends their recordings a genuinely oppressive character.
Finnish black metal project formed in 2017, with a name meaning "stillbirth" in Finnish. Their morbid theme channels visceral darkness through raw, uncompromising black metal.
Devotees of black metal, this Polish outfit from Szczecinek has been refining their craft since 2022. Their sound hinges on corrosive riffing and misanthropic atmosphere, delivered with absolute focus.
The Turkish city of Antalya serves as headquarters for this black metal operation, whose arsenal includes second-wave ferocity filtered through modern production sensibilities. Their recordings conjure desolation through sheets of tremolo-picked guitar.
