Warthenas is a black metal band from Mexico City, active since at least 2002 under the name The Howl before rebranding, with themes rooted in darkness, war, blasphemy, and Satanism. The duo — Black Warth on vocals, bass, and guitars, and Aiwass on drums — released their debut demo The Devil Awaits... in 2016 through Satanic Reaper Records. The five-track release opens with an intro and moves through raw, relentless cuts like "Night of Relentless Evil" and "Denying the Worthless."

Black metal band from England formed in 2022. Named after the ancient Anglo-Saxon drinking ritual, Wassail channels English folklore and pagan tradition through raw black metal.
Detroit's Wastelander have been fusing black metal, thrash, and crust punk since 2008 with the post-industrial bleakness that city tends to produce in abundance. Their sound is grimy, propulsive, and absolutely uncompromising — the kind of blackened thrash that draws a straight line from the old Teutonic thrash menace through American hardcore hostility. Detroit gave them everything they needed to make music that sounds like it comes from nowhere else.
Black and speed metal band from Madrid, Spain formed in 2015, self-described as four Madrid rascals who love fast-paced music. Their catalog spans from early demos through splits and the LP Death Arrives, all delivered with raw, Motörhead-influenced speed and punk attitude.
Watain formed in Uppsala, Sweden in 1998, taking their name from an early recording by the American black metal act Von, and have spent more than two decades developing one of the most uncompromising and ritually intense presences in the genre. Their breakthrough came with Sworn to the Dark (2007) and was consolidated by Lawless Darkness (2010), a double album widely regarded as a high-water mark of contemporary black metal, followed by subsequent releases on Century Media and Nuclear Blast. The band's seven studio albums and elaborate, confrontational live performances have made them central figures in black metal's international profile.
Experimental black metal project from Transylvania, Romania formed in 2020. Watashi Dake pushes black metal into experimental territory from the legendary region of the Carpathian Mountains.
