Vienna's Angelcunt operate at the extreme crossroads of black and death metal, drawing on the deliberately confrontational tradition of early Scandinavian black metal. Their material couples blast-beat aggression with venomous, anti-religious lyricism and the low-fi rawness of the underground tape-trading circuit.
Angelfuck has practiced black metal from Vantaa in the Helsinki metropolitan area since 1997, making them one of Finland's longer-running black metal acts. Nearly three decades of blasphemous activity have cemented their place in the Finnish underground.
Angelgoat practices black metal from Vrbas in Vojvodina since 1999, over a quarter century of activity from this Bačka town. Their blasphemous-hybrid name captures the contradictions of combining the divine and the Sabbatic.
Angelrape channels black and thrash metal from Lidköping on Lake Vänern since 2022. Their blasphemous name drives compositions of sacrilegious aggression from this western Swedish lakeside town.
New Jersey black/death metal outfit who dropped two EPs in 2020 — Hate Fueled Death Ritual and The Unholy Division. The name is a mission statement: angelic imagery torn apart by extreme metal ferocity.
Angelus Mortis is a melodic death and black metal band from Oberkotzau near Hof in Bavaria, Germany, whose 2006 debut album Venerable Grey Epitaph spans nine tracks of metal that crosses between death, black, and thrash territories. The album features songs like Heaven in Ashes and Lucifer's Harvest across thirty-six minutes of aggressive, multi-faceted extreme metal.
Angis has transitioned from doom and death metal into pagan black metal from Kaunas since 2017. Their Lithuanian name meaning 'snake' threads through compositions that have shed their skin to reveal new stylistic forms.
Bakersfield, California Tolkien-obsessed black metal project crafting epic narratives from the Silmarillion since 2019. Named after one of the cursed swords of Middle-earth, their albums trace specific tales — Tuor's journey to Gondolin, the sea-longing of the Elves — through atmospheric black metal that takes its literary source material with scholarly seriousness.
Northern New Jersey death metal project.
