Son ov Leviathan is a black/death metal band from Temecula, California, formed in 2017, channeling the crushing convergence of death metal brutality and black metal malevolence.
Syktyvkar's Sona Nil pair black and death metal from the Komi Republic capital since 2015. Their void-referencing name and origins in the subarctic Ural foothills channel the emptiness of the taiga into compositions of dual-genre extremity.
Sonic Reign practice black metal from Mellrichstadt in Lower Franconia, channeling the genre's harsh intensity from the Bavarian-Thuringian border region. Active since 2013, they bring the sonic dominion their name promises.
