Fort Wayne, Indiana's Vomitkvlt have carved out a niche in the black/speed metal underground since 2015, merging the filth and velocity of early black metal with the leather-and-studs urgency of speed metal's punk-adjacent roots. Their material moves fast and mean, with a lo-fi rawness that suits both genres' contempt for polish.
