Italian black metal project active since 2017. The project delivers atmospheric black metal with a nature-inspired, arboreal thematic focus.
French black/death metal project formed in 2024, among the newest entries in the country's vast extreme metal underground. Their antiquated English name signals a reverence for old-school occultism channeled through modern extremity.
Steeped in lo-fi grime and occult atmosphere, Olde Witchery channels the rawness of early second-wave Scandinavian black metal through a distinctly French lens. Their demo material and "L'Offrande de la Sylve Noire" conjure dense, forest-dwelling aggression with tremolo-picked melodies buried beneath layers of tape hiss.
Black metal project with roots in Wales before relocating to Sao Paulo, active since 2019. This transatlantic trajectory gives their black metal an unusual cultural duality, blending Celtic bleakness with South American intensity.
Oldlands is a one-man black metal project helmed entirely by Vox Morbidus, drawing deeply on the raw, stripped-down aesthetics of 1980s and 1990s European black metal. After releasing the full-length Source of Eternal Darkness in 2019, the project matured with Oldmaster in 2023, a record structured like a vinyl side A/B split that pairs guttural and high-pitched vocals with keyboards and acoustic passages.
Austrian death/black/gothic metal band from Linz, merging three dark genres since 2018. Their approach blends death metal's brutality, black metal's atmosphere, and gothic metal's romanticism.
Operating under the Oliferne banner from Bourgogne-Franche-Comte, this solo project weaves mid-paced black metal with a contemplative, almost meditative quality. The compositions favor drawn-out tremolo passages and hypnotic repetition over blast-beat fury.
Louisiana's Olivia Tree Darkness blend black metal's corrosive cold with ambient drift, conjuring something atmospheric and deeply unsettling. Formed in 2022, their music feels less like performance and more like ritual — dark, searching, and rooted in the bayou's own gothic mystery.
Atmospheric black metal project from Utrecht, the Netherlands, active since 2018. The project delivers sweeping, contemplative atmospheric black metal from the historic university city.
