Depressive black metal band from Vladivostok, Russia, formed in 2015, channeling the isolation of Russia's Pacific coast through melancholic black metal. They bring a decade of darkness from the Far East.
Schmelz-based Patricide has been delivering thrash-death crossover since 2019, their name implying a violence directed at the paternal order. Their Saarland origins place them in Germany's smallest state, where the metal scene compensates for its size with intensity.
Melodic and symphonic black metal band from Baia Mare, Romania, formed in 2020, layering orchestral grandeur over melodic black metal from the Maramures region. They bring cinematic darkness to northwestern Romania.
Promethean Gate is a one-person black metal project rooted in Luciferian and Draconian occultism, with all instrumentation and vocals handled by Promethean P. Priest. The debut album "Architecture and Concepts of the New God" (2017) set the tone for a catalogue steeped in left-hand path theology, and the project is affiliated with the Ancient Coven collective of São Paulo underground black metal acts.
Tampa, Florida's Promethean Horde emerged in 2014, drawing on that city's storied extreme metal history while carving out a strictly black metal identity. Their approach channels the cold, misanthropic intensity of Scandinavian second-wave black metal filtered through a distinctly American lens, keeping the flame raw and unadorned.
Black and death metal band from Oxford, England, formed in 2017, bringing extreme metal darkness to the historic university city. They channel mythological fire through blackened death metal.
Geneva-based Prometherion has been fusing black metal's atmospheric menace with death metal's physicality since 2016. Their blackened death approach draws from the French and Swiss extreme metal traditions, creating a sound that mirrors the cosmopolitan darkness of their lakeside city.
Black metal band from Pontypool, Wales, formed in 2010, named after the fire-bringing Titan of Greek mythology. They have been igniting the Welsh black metal scene for over a decade.
