Moon Reaper is a blackened doom metal and hardcore band from Bristol, England, formed in 2014. They fuse blackened doom with hardcore's visceral energy.
Moon Summoner is a Des Moines, Iowa project formed in 2023 fusing post-black metal's melodic expansiveness with progressive metal's structural complexity and hardcore's raw intensity. The combination makes for an ambitious sound that refuses easy categorization within any single extreme metal camp.
Moon Witch is a Dayton, Ohio band formed in 2021 that tears through black metal, death metal, and grindcore in roughly equal measure, trading in speed and ugliness with clear enthusiasm. Their Bandcamp handle — moonwitchusbm — signals a commitment to underground black metal aesthetics even as the grind influence pulls them toward pure noise.
A black metal project from the Arctic Finnish town of Kemi, Moonblaze has been crafting atmospheric compositions since 2020. The project channels the extreme polar conditions of Lapland into cold, lunar-tinged black metal.
Moonburn is a black metal project from Bridgeport, Connecticut, formed in 2023 and releasing under the Bloodhorn Bandcamp handle. Their recent formation and raw genre focus suggest a project firmly planted in the underground, favoring stripped-down savagery over accessibility.
Moonchapel is a brand-new black-death metal project from Westminster, Maryland, formed in 2025. Still in its earliest stages, the band draws on the intertwined traditions of black and death metal — blastbeats, tremolo riffs, and an atmosphere pitched somewhere between the infernal and the void.
Mooncreature is a Rhode Island band formed in 2012 that runs thrash and black metal through a punk filter, producing something rawer and more aggressive than either genre alone. The punk influence keeps their sound energetic and unpretentious, closer to a rehearsal room than a recording studio.
Mooncult is a black metal project from Athens, active since 2017. The project channels lunar mysticism and nocturnal atmosphere into cold, ritualistic black metal in the Hellenic tradition.
Moonfall is a black and doom metal band from Hamina, Finland, formed in 2011. They fuse black metal's cold fury with doom metal's glacial weight.
