Reliqvia is a Prague-based black metal and ambient project formed in 2020, describing their work as emerging 'from the other side — from the tide of ice that covered the 9 realms in a time now long forgotten.' Their releases including Midgard - The final collision and tracks like Agios O Baphomet weave Norse mythology and occult themes into atmospheric black metal.
Hailing from Norfolk, Virginia, Rellik has been delivering no-frills heavy metal since 2003, drawing from the classic American metal tradition with hard-hitting riffs and a blue-collar intensity. Their longevity in the Hampton Roads scene speaks to a dedication to the craft that outlasts trends. Norfolk's port-city grit runs through every track.
Remains of Ash is a black metal band from Espoo, Finland, formed in 2025. The band channels black metal from the major city adjacent to Helsinki.
New York's Remains of Christ emerged in 2020 fusing black and death metal into a corrosive hybrid that weaponizes blast beats against tremolo-picked dissonance. The project channels the confrontational energy of blasphemous black metal while grounding it in the crushing heaviness of death metal's most extreme traditions. Still young, they've wasted no time establishing a menacing presence.
Founded in 2017, Reminisce sits at the intersection of depressive and post-black metal, favoring cascading walls of sound that ache with longing rather than just punish. Their compositions stretch outward into atmospheric spaces while never abandoning the raw, lo-fi emotional core that defines the depressive black metal tradition. It's introspective and crushing in equal measure.
Reminiscent is a black metal and ambient project from Spain, formed in 2017. The project layers ambient textures over black metal foundations from the Spanish underground.
A North Carolina black metal project born in 2022, Reminiscent Delusion trades in the kind of cold, unadorned blackness that owes more to the Norwegian second wave than any modern reinterpretation. The name itself suggests a preoccupation with fractured memory and psychological darkness, themes that infuse the music with a harrowing personal quality. Raw, uncompromising, and newly forged.
Bratislava black metal act active since 2008 that expanded from pure black metal into hard rock and avant-garde territory, reflecting restless creative ambition. Their stylistic evolution defies easy categorization within Slovakia's metal underground.
Black metal band from Campinas/Valinhos, São Paulo, founded in 2005 and taking their name from a Baudelaire poem in Les Fleurs du Mal. Their lineup on the 2014 album Posthumum Haeresis Ecclesiastica included vocalist Tristenius Von Doom, guitarists Lutus and Cultus Nihil, bassist Mephisto, and drummer Impetus — the band's third full-length following Post Mortem Martyrivm (2007) and Les Poètes Maudits (Litanies I) (2010).
