Colorado's Terrorized by Winter are brand new as of 2025, stepping into the raw black metal tradition with the mountain state's characteristic extremity — cold, unforgiving, and built from pure adversarial instinct. Raw black metal at its most elemental, the kind of music that sounds like it was recorded in a blizzard and wants you to feel every degree of it.
Terrorshroud is a black/death metal band from Volos, Greece, formed in 2026. As one of the newest extreme metal acts from the Magnesian port city, they shroud their music in the terrifying darkness of combined black and death metal.
Coming out of the Norwalk/Whittier corridor in Los Angeles County, TerrorStorm have been running their black/thrash/speed metal assault since 2015, part of a thriving Southern California scene that has never stopped producing bands with this much raw velocity. They play with the reckless momentum of old Sodom and Bathory translated through the LA underground's obsession with analog aggression and total sonic attack.
