Black/speed metal band from Brașov, Romania emerging in 2024. Wräthhammer merges black metal darkness with speed metal's velocity from the medieval Transylvanian city at the foot of the Carpathians.
Pagan/black metal band from Sundsvall, Sweden formed in 2019. Wulafir channels Norse pagan themes through atmospheric black metal from the Norrland coast.
A black metal project with no listed city, Wuldorgast emerged in 2024 with a name that evokes Old English or proto-Germanic mysticism — a fitting frame for black metal rooted in ancient, unknowable imagery. Their debut material places them in the US underground's more obscurantist corner.
Pagan black metal project from Lower Saxony, Germany active since 2018. Wuldur channels the ancient Saxon landscapes and pre-Christian spirituality of northern Germany into atmospheric pagan black metal.
Salt Lake City's Wulf Blitzer have been running black metal, death metal, and hardcore through the same engine since 2015, producing something that hits harder and moves faster than any one of those genres alone. Utah's underground scene is small but fierce, and Wulf Blitzer embody that scrappy, crossover energy.
A Florida black metal project active since 2019, Wulf Chant operates without a listed city — deliberately anonymous in the way that suits the more solitary, ritualistic end of the genre. Their sound leans into the raw, primitive side of American black metal, unconcerned with accessibility or polish.
Black metal band from Aarhus, Denmark formed in 2019. Wulfaz channels the raw spirit of Scandinavian black metal through cold, aggressive compositions from the Danish mainland.
Project of Imprecation vocalist David Herrera. Black/death/thrash/punk hybrid. Released a split with Hexella on Goat Throne Records.
Black metal band from Mora, Sweden active since 2016. Wulkanaz channels the deep forests and dark folklore of Dalarna through raw, atmospheric black metal from the heart of Sweden.
