Practitioners of black metal and melodic black metal, this Ukrainian outfit from Mykolaiv has been refining their craft since 2021. Their sound hinges on corrosive riffing and misanthropic atmosphere, delivered with ruthless intent.
Gothic/black metal band from Chelmsford in Essex, formed in 2024 and blending black metal's atmospheric aggression with gothic metal's dark romanticism. Their sound occupies the shadowy intersection where these two genres converge.
Post-black metal band from Santander in Cantabria, active since 2014 and building atmospheric, expansive compositions from northern Spain's Atlantic coast. Their sound blends black metal's intensity with post-metal's contemplative dynamics.
Crafting their sound since 2023, this Saint Petersburg Atmospheric Black Metal and Black Metal outfit delivers icy tremolo lines cascading over relentless percussion. Their place within Russia's sprawling, uncompromising metal landscape speaks to the depth of the region's heavy music culture.
Polish black metal act, active since 2021 delivering second-wave ferocity filtered through modern production sensibilities. Rooted in the country that produced Behemoth and Vader, their recordings conjure desolation through sheets of tremolo-picked guitar.
