Mordrean is a one-woman black metal project by Demona, rooted in raw, winter-drenched atmospheres drawn from anti-Christian philosophy and dark paganism. The debut demo "Under the Black Frost" arrived in 2014, and the project has continued to grow, culminating in the 2023 full-length "In Memoriam Tenebris" released through Dominance of Darkness Records.
Mordrefek is a black metal project from an undisclosed UK location, formed in 2024. The project delivers raw, atmospheric black metal with the kind of deliberate anonymity that characterizes the genre's most secretive practitioners.
Mordstorm is a raw black metal project from Belarus, formed in 2025, affiliated with the Schwarzer Orden der Malum (Black Order of Evil). Their 2025 demo '...As the Pyre Devours the Black Sky' delivers seven tracks of unpolished, lo-fi black metal steeped in nihilistic atmosphere and ritualistic intensity.
A black metal act from the Bavarian city of Ingolstadt, Moredhel has been crafting dark compositions since 2003. One of the region's veteran black metal projects, the band channels over two decades of atmospheric extremity.
Moreld is a folk metal act with black metal influences from Bergen, active since 2019. The band channels Norwegian folk traditions into aggressive, nature-inspired compositions from the country's western capital.
Morgal is a Finnish black metal outfit from Mikkeli, blending old-school second-wave ferocity with melodic hooks and 1980s hard rock swagger. Active since 2016 on Werewolf Records, the band's occult-themed debut 'Nightmare Lord' earned praise for its raw yet surprisingly catchy approach to Satanic black metal.
Oakland's Morgana work in the post-black metal space, tempering the genre's harshness with expansive, emotionally resonant passages that reflect the Bay Area's experimental underground ethos since 2020. Their music moves between abrasion and melancholy with a fluidity that suits their Arthurian name's associations with mystery and transformation.
Maine's Morganian Rite emerged in 2022 as a black/death metal force anchored in ritualistic darkness and uncompromising extremity. The band's name evokes a sense of occult ceremony, and their music treats the intersection of black and death metal as a space for invoking something genuinely malevolent.
Morgarath is a black/death/thrash metal band from Tychy, Poland, formed in 2017. They forge extreme metal at the fierce intersection of black and death metal.
