Philadelphia black metal project Coffins Across Hiroshima conjure cold, desolate soundscapes built on tremolo-driven guitars and bleak atmosphere steeped in apocalyptic imagery.

Blackened death metal act from Warsaw, formed in 2019. Coffinwood crafts dark, morbid extreme metal from the Polish capital.
