Aragonese black metal project formed in 2022, representing the inland Spanish region's contribution to Iberian black metal. Their work channels the austere, barren character of the Aragonese landscape through hostile compositions.
California's Occult Mountain traffic in raw black metal and dungeon synth with the lo-fi intensity of a project that has nothing to prove to anyone. Born in 2025, their sound is primitive, isolated, and entirely committed to the underground's most uncompromising traditions.
Italian black metal project active since 2020, channeling occult darkness through black metal.
Ibiza-based black metal project active since 2015, creating a striking contrast between the island's hedonistic reputation and their occult-tinged extremity. Named with a Latin phrase meaning 'hidden stone,' their work trades in alchemical and esoteric themes.
Berlin doom/black metal act operating since 2010, pairing doom's glacial pacing with black metal's tonal bleakness. Over fifteen years in the German capital's vast underground, they have carved out a niche in the intersection of these two dark traditions.
Black metal project from Santiago, Chile, whose name combines the Greek roots for "crowd" and "aversion" as a statement against collective conformity. The duo of P.B. and K. have released three records — Vendémiaire (2021), Thermidor (2022), and ...In Terrorem (2023) — crafting philosophically charged black metal shaped by Nietzschean and counter-Enlightenment themes.
Zwolle melodic black/doom metal act active since 2014, pairing black metal's frigid atmosphere with doom's crushing deliberateness. Over a decade in the Overijssel capital, they have cultivated a distinctly melancholic style that favors mood over speed.
Melodic black metal band from Riga, Latvia, active since 2017. Their infernal-themed name accompanies melodic black metal from the Baltic capital.
Dutch atmospheric black metal project active since 2019, crafting immersive, textural compositions that prioritize atmosphere over aggression. Their Latin name -- meaning 'empty eye' -- captures the void-gazing, contemplative character of their work.
