Black metal and ambient project from Wijchen, Netherlands emerging in 2025. Wraakbloed, meaning "revenge blood" in Dutch, blends raw black metal with ambient atmospherics.
Raw black metal project from Wales active since 2016. Wrach channels the ancient Celtic darkness of the Welsh landscape through uncompromising raw black metal.
Indiana's Wraith formed in 2017 to channel the raw energy of blackened speed metal and thrash punk into something that feels genuinely dangerous. Drawing from the crossover spirit of the 1980s and electrifying it with black metal venom, they play with the kind of aggressive simplicity that leaves little room for anything but forward motion.
Raw Death / Black Metal out of Texas.
Black/thrash metal band from Madrid, Spain active since 2017. Wraith Rite merges the spectral atmosphere of black metal with thrash's relentless velocity in a raw, energetic assault.
A Washington State act formed in 2019, Wraithborn fuse the abrasive extremes of death metal and black metal with the modern heaviness of deathcore, creating music that's equal parts atmospheric menace and crushing brutality. Their approach refuses easy categorization, pulling influences across the extreme metal spectrum into something deliberately unpredictable.
Symphonic black metal band from Southampton, England formed in 2023. Wraithfyre weaves orchestral grandeur into black metal from the south coast port city.
Rising from Flint, Michigan in 2020, Wraithlord channel the bleak atmosphere of their surroundings into cold, unadorned black metal that bears the marks of a city with little patience for pretense. The project leans into the raw and the grim, delivering music that feels less composed than conjured.
Doom, black metal, and ambient project from Tampere, Finland active since 2011, blending horror aesthetics with Nordic melancholy. Their releases Fields of Nihilism and Adagio in Self-Destruction combine doom, rock, black metal, and ambient into eerie, outsider reflections of reality.
