Nox Noctis is a black/thrash metal band from Volgograd, Russia, active since 2016. Their Latin name — meaning 'night of night' — doubles down on the darkness.
Nox Pestes is a black metal project from Neubrandenburg in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, formed in 2026. The project's Latin name meaning 'night plague' signals pestilent black metal from the northeastern German lakeland.
Nox Tenebrae is a raw black metal project from San Fernando in the Bay of Cadiz, active since 2020. The project's Latin name meaning 'night of darkness' drives their unpolished black metal from Andalusia's Atlantic coast.
Nox Urorum is a Polish black metal project formed in 2026. Their Latin name channels ancient darkness into raw black metal.
Amsterdam black metal act with roots stretching back to 2008, channeling atmospheric darkness and aggression from the Dutch capital. Their sustained presence speaks to black metal's deep roots in Amsterdam's underground.
Noxia is a black metal and post-punk band from Wuppertal, active since 2012. The band fuses black metal darkness with post-punk's angular energy from the Bergisches Land.
San Diego's Noxious Anathema have been refining their black/death metal attack since 2014, merging the scorched-earth atmosphere of black metal with death metal's rhythmic crush into something that feels genuinely nasty. Southern California is not always the first region associated with this kind of underground extremity, which makes their persistent commitment to the uglier end of the spectrum all the more notable.
Noxious Light is a British black metal project formed in 2026. The band channels black metal intensity from the UK underground.
Athenian black metal project launched in 2023, adding to the Greek capital's seemingly inexhaustible wellspring of extreme metal. Their dark sonic vision carries the intensity associated with the modern Hellenic underground.
