North Black is an atmospheric black metal project from Koryazhma in the Arkhangelsk Oblast, Russia, active since 2007. Nearly two decades of black metal from the subarctic Russian north.
Norfolk, Virginia's Northblod have been active since 2021, bringing an uncompromising black metal sensibility to a city not widely known for the genre. Their music operates in the raw, orthodox tradition — cold production, relentless tremolo picking, and an atmosphere of hostility and isolation. The coastal Virginia setting, far from the genre's usual geographic associations, makes their dedication to the form all the more striking.
Northcrown is a folk/black metal project from Huittinen, Finland, formed in 2020. The band interweaves Finnish folk melodies and pagan themes with the raw intensity of black metal.
Northeldir is a Finnish black metal project active since 2021, with releases including Under The Sovereign Moon and a collaboration with Xavarthan titled Fierce Alliance Under The Northern Star.
