Avant-garde and atmospheric black metal band from Oulu, Finland active since 2014 with six releases including No Sun Nor Moon, Spirit & Teeth, and Earth Made Flesh. Wyrmwoods pushes atmospheric black metal into experimental territory through an ambitious and evolving catalog.
East Falmouth, Massachusetts outfit Wyrre blend death metal's brutality with the atmospheric and dissonant elements of black metal, forging a death/black sound rooted in the isolated quiet of Cape Cod turned inside out. Formed in 2020, their work reflects a self-contained underground ethic far from major scene centers.
Chicago's Wysdom combine blackened heavy metal with a punk-inflected edge, filtering their approach through the gritty street-level energy of Illinois's underground since their 2017 formation. Their crossing of classic heavy metal muscle with black metal darkness and punk attitude gives them a distinctly rough-edged character.
Wytchaus are a black/death metal project formed in 2022 whose precise location remains unknown, channeling the claustrophobic and malevolent intersection of both genres with an outsider anonymity that suits the material. Their work leans into the darkness common to the underground extreme metal world.
Black metal band from Stockholm, Sweden formed in 2023. Wékeras delivers fresh black metal from the Swedish capital's thriving underground scene.
Florida's Wørsen have been sharpening a ferocious black/death/grind hybrid since 2012, compressing the blast and fury of all three extreme genres into material that is brief, ugly, and deliberately merciless. Their Floridian roots and long tenure in the underground mark them as committed extremists with no interest in accessibility.
