Mood Fragments is a black metal band from Hungary, formed in 2021. They channel dark, atmospheric black metal from the Hungarian underground.
Moon and Azure Shadow is a Los Angeles project working in the epic and atmospheric vein of black metal, active since 2012. Their music reaches for panoramic scale — sweeping melodic passages and vast, reverb-drenched tremolo that evoke the grandiose landscapes of the genre's most cinematic practitioners.
A blackened death/doom metal act from Akureyri in northern Iceland, Moon Bearer channels the Arctic darkness of its subarctic setting into crushing, atmospheric compositions. Active since 2019, the band operates from Iceland's second city, surrounded by fjords and volcanic terrain.
Moon Drunk is a Chicago trio formed in 2021 colliding grindcore velocity with black and death metal extremity into compact, caustic bursts of noise. Operating out of the city's underground, they favor speed and ferocity over nuance — short, punishing songs with no room for comfort.
Moon Lore is an Oslo-based project that blends ambient/black metal with gothic metal and electronica, active since 2003. The project channels lunar mysticism into diverse, genre-crossing compositions.
Moon of Delirium is a Salt Lake City black-doom project active since 2011, marrying the bleak minimalism of black metal to the crushing, slow-motion weight of doom. The band draws on the isolation of the high desert landscape, channeling it into long, mournful compositions.

Moon Pillar is an Illinois post-black metal project formed in 2019, working in the melodic and expansive mode of a genre that has moved far from its rawer roots. Their music prioritizes texture and emotional arc over harshness, with clean production and a sense of space that sets them apart from more orthodox black metal.
Moon Presence is a black metal act out of Little Rock, Arkansas, formed in 2019. Their name, drawn from Bloodborne's cosmic horror mythology, hints at an aesthetic rooted in darkness and dread — a fitting framework for Arkansas underground black metal.
