Black metal project from Sweden formed in 2022. Witch Cunt delivers raw, confrontational black metal with a provocative edge.
Hailing from Topsfield, Massachusetts — a town whose name sits a short distance from the actual Salem Witch Trials geography — Witch Hill formed in 2019 and make raw black metal steeped in regional darkness. The lo-fi aesthetic is deliberate, all hiss and cold tremolo, evoking the fog of colonial New England horror. They are a project that wears its geographic and historical context like a second skin.
Out of Warwick, Rhode Island, Witch King appeared in 2023 fusing black and death metal into a compact and malevolent package. Their sound leans into the collision between blasted extremity and riff-driven death metal brutality — a short but vicious run so far. New England's tight-knit extreme metal underground has clearly left its mark on their early output.
Belgian black metal and thrash hybrid from Ghent active since 2015, blending noise rock textures, post-punk atmospherics, and black metal aggression across three albums including Nithera, Thole, and The Sun Has Left the Hill. Reviewers have noted their jagged, melodic sound draws comparisons to noise rock acts like Jesus Lizard alongside their extreme metal foundation.
Black metal band from Thessaloniki, Greece active since 2010. Witchammer delivers raw, occult-themed black metal from Greece's second city with over a decade of underground devotion.
Pagan and black metal band from London, England active since 2017. Witcharia weaves pagan mysticism and nature worship into raw black metal from the British capital.
Black/thrash metal band from Cittadella, Italy formed in 2018. Witchbrew merges the occult darkness of black metal with thrash's velocity from the walled town near Padua.
Based in Talkeetna, Alaska — one of the more remote homes for any metal band in the country — Witchcrown have been grinding out thrash-infused black metal since 2011. The isolation of the Alaskan interior is palpable in their sound: cold, stripped-down, and driven by a DIY ethos that makes most continental scenes look pampered. They are a testament to the fact that geography is no obstacle to ferocity.
Black metal band from Copenhagen, Denmark formed in 2019. Witchcult channels occult darkness through black metal from Denmark's capital with a ritualistic, atmospheric approach.
