Melodic black/death metal project from Baden-Württemberg, Germany emerging in 2024. Wrakjon fuses the melodic sensibility of both black and death metal traditions into a potent hybrid from southwestern Germany.
Black metal band from Utrecht, Netherlands active since 2015. Wrang delivers raw, atmospheric black metal from the historic cathedral city of the Dutch heartland.
Formed in Orlando in 2015, Wrapped in Pale bring black metal to a corner of Florida not usually associated with the genre's frozen aesthetics, translating the music's trademark bleakness into something that thrives under oppressive heat and humidity. Their sound is austere and uncompromising, built on tremolo-laden riffs and an atmosphere of persistent dread.
Black and death metal band from Nantes, France active since 2017. Wrath from Above delivers a furious dual assault of black and death metal from the Atlantic coast of western France.
Wrath of Crocell is a black metal solo project from Quito, Ecuador, formed in 2021 by a musician named Panos who handles all instruments. The project released its debut album The Arise of Crocell in 2021, exploring themes of cult ideology, genocide, and the corrupting extremes of human behavior through an independent, underground black metal approach.
Wrath of Logarius formed in San Francisco, California, having evolved from the project Martyr Logarius, and signed with Season of Mist ahead of their 2023 EP Necrotic Assimilation. The band describes their approach as "formless black metal," navigating between raw black metal, brutal death metal, and post-metal textures without settling into a fixed genre identity. Named after the boss character from the video game Bloodborne, the project earned early attention for its layered and eerie compositional sensibility within the Season of Mist underground division.
Black and death metal band from Oulu, Finland active since 2004, evolving from pure black metal into a black/death hybrid. Wrathage has spent two decades channeling the extreme cold of northern Finland into aggressive, genre-blending extreme metal.
Richmond, Virginia black/death metal project formed in 2022, fusing the cold dissonance of black metal with the visceral heaviness of death metal in a city that has long bred uncompromising extreme music. Their Bandcamp handle — wrathbearerde — hints at a Germanic black metal influence woven into their approach.
San Antonio black metal act formed in 2023, channeling raw, misanthropic energy from one of Texas's largest cities into a sound built on cold tremolo riffing and ceremonial malice. A newer entry into the Texas extreme underground, operating out of a city with a surprisingly fierce black metal contingent.
