Phoenix's Satanic Gore Procession emerged in 2024 with the full-commitment intensity that raw black metal demands in the desert heat — a city better known for extreme temperatures than extreme metal, but whose isolation and hostility translates naturally into the genre's rawness. The project's name lays out its terms plainly: this is black metal with no interest in subtlety.
Satanic Hammer are a black metal duo from Tucumán, Argentina, comprising guitarist Gahoul and vocalist Abighor (Emiliano Albelda), with Gustavo Kanasawa on drums. Formed in 2021, they released the promo "Terror Under the Sign of the Goat" and the EP "Blasphemer" that same year, followed by the full-length "Glorius Satana" on February 13, 2023 — a self-produced, eight-track record drawing on Satanism and left-hand path themes.

Black metal band from Blumenau, Santa Catarina, formed in 2025. Their debut release, the six-track EP Our Legacy Is Dominance, came out in 2025, featuring songs including 'Command of Fury and Hatred', 'Infernal Warmaster', and 'Satanic Power'.
Satanic Torment forge black/death metal from Lahti, combining the atmospheric darkness of black metal with death metal's crushing weight. Active since 2014, they bring dual-genre torment to the Paijat-Hame scene.
Illinois's Satanic Vomit arrived in 2025 with black metal built for maximum impact and zero compromise, a new project from the American Midwest that treats the genre's most confrontational aesthetics as both form and content. Their name signals everything you need to know about where they stand on the question of accessibility.
