Whore Illusion was a black metal band from Osasco, São Paulo, Brazil, active in the country's depressive and raw black metal underground. The project released "Desolation Part I" through Orlög Black Art and appeared on a split titled "Sala III" alongside Swedish act Bärkdum, as well as contributing the track "H(r)ope" to the "DSBM Brazil Vol. I" compilation released in 2019. The band split up after a run of releases that placed them within the Brazilian DSBM scene.
Founded in 2009 to break from the Texas brutal death mold with a more sinister, blackened approach. Three albums deep, with 'Ritual of Homicide' dropping in 2023.
Black, death, and thrash metal band from Valencia, Spain active since 2017. Whoredom unleashes a triple-pronged attack of extreme subgenres, merging the darkness of black metal with the brutality of death and speed of thrash.
Hardcore and post-black metal band from Slagelse, Denmark formed in 2012. Whorls bridges the intensity of hardcore with post-black metal's atmospheric scope, creating a dynamic hybrid from the Danish underground.
Black metal project from Minsk, Belarus active since 2013. Whrwlf channels raw black metal aggression through a stripped-down, uncompromising approach to the genre.
Black metal project from Italy emerging in 2024. Wicked Fields channels dark atmospheres through black metal with a focus on malevolent, nature-inspired imagery.
Boston's Wicked Weird formed in 2023 fusing black metal's icy hostility with the harder-hitting structures of traditional heavy metal — a blackened heavy metal approach that fits naturally in New England, where the cold and the defiant have always gone hand in hand. Their name might suggest irreverence but the sound is dead serious, built on atmosphere and riff alike.
Industrial/black metal band from Gdańsk, Poland active since 2011. Widetk fuses the mechanical coldness of industrial music with black metal's extremity from the Baltic port city.
Feral black/thrash/punk that blurred genre lines with sadistic intensity. Active 2011-2019 before splitting up.
