Laredo, Texas border city black metal act Throne ov Blood have been operating since 2007, embodying the raw and sinister aesthetic that the 'ov' in their name signals — deliberately lo-fi, occult-tinged, and indifferent to polish. Their longevity in one of Texas's most isolated music scenes speaks to a genuine dedication to the black metal underground.
Tielt-based black metal band Thronum Vrondor formed in 2005 around the core of guitarist/bassist Vrondor and drummer Crygh, releasing their debut Vrondor I: Epitaph of Mass-Destruction on Goatowarex in 2006. Four albums followed — including Vrondor II: Conducting the Orchestra of Evil on Total Holocaust Records and Dies Tenebrosa Sicut Nox on Immortal Frost Productions — with the addition of vocalist SvN in 2015 broadening their dynamic range while preserving their commitment to raw, intelligent old-school black metal.
Throrne from Brighton craft black metal under a deliberately misspelled name that suggests both throne and thorn since 2020. Their Sussex seaside base provides an unlikely setting for their hostile, atmospheric compositions.
Derby, Kansas one-piece Throsk works deep in raw black metal and ambient territory since 2016, stripping the sound back to primitive aggression and abrasive texture with no concern for production sheen. The project fuses the nihilistic spirit of raw black metal with stretches of cold, isolationist ambient — a fitting approach for the flat, windswept Kansas plains.
A very recent entry from Woods Cross, Utah, Through Eternal Mourning emerged in 2024 playing melodic black metal with a strong emphasis on sorrowful atmosphere and clean harmonic guitar work alongside the genre's trademark harshness. Their arrival adds another voice to Utah's small but dedicated black metal community.
Hailing from the high-altitude isolation of Mammoth Lakes, California, Through These Gates have been forging black/death metal since 2012, combining the cold tremolo aggression of black metal with the gutting brutality of death.
Fargo, North Dakota's Thrållfrost have been practicing an isolated, atmospheric strain of black metal since 2017, their sound shaped by the desolation of the northern plains into something bleak and unrelenting.
Atlanta-based Thuastur have pursued a raw, uncompromising strain of black metal since 2018, working in the underground where atmosphere and aggression converge without concession to accessibility or polish.
Thulan is a progressive black metal project from Italy, formed in 2022. Their name evokes the mythical northern land of Thule, channeling that icy mysticism through progressive black metal compositions.
