Out of Eureka, California's fog-shrouded coast, Miasmic has cultivated a black metal sound since 2011 that feels as cold and isolating as the Northern California wilderness surrounding them. Their music leans into atmosphere and hostility in equal measure, making them a distinctive voice in the regional underground.

Midgaard is a depressive black metal and dark ambient project from Benevento in Campania, active since 2021. The project channels the despair and isolation of its name's Norse mythology into bleak, atmospheric compositions.
El Sobrante, California's Midian formed in 2015 at the confluence of black metal and ambient music, building soundscapes that use darkness as texture rather than just assault. The Bay Area project moves between corrosive black metal aggression and spacious, ominous atmosphere, creating music that rewards patient listening as much as it punishes the faint-hearted.
Immersive Atmospheric Black / Folk Metal from Keller.
A black metal act from Oslo, Midnattsvrede — meaning 'midnight fury' — has been crafting dark compositions since 2014. The project channels nocturnal rage into cold, aggressive Norwegian black metal.
