Chicago's Comaborn fuse black metal's icy menace with death metal's brutality into a hybrid that feels both vicious and atmospheric. The Windy City's underground provides fertile ground for their dark, aggressive sound.
Clementon, New Jersey's Come and Get It play black metal-tinged speed metal that's nasty and stripped-down, channeling the raw aggression of the early underground. Fast, mean, and unconcerned with polish.
Command is a black metal band from Paraná, Brazil, listed on the Encyclopaedia Metallum with roots traceable to the Brazilian underground black metal scene of the late 1990s. The band is now split-up, having been active across multiple periods, and their Metal Archives profile documents their place within the Brazilian extreme metal underground.
Black-death-doom metal band from Kassel, Germany, formed in 2015. They blend the darkness of black metal with the brutality of death metal and the crushing weight of doom.
Blackened crust/grind addressing border, religious, and governmental oppression in the El Paso region. Active 2010-2016 on Unholy Anarchy Records.
Maine's Commuted operate in the space where black metal's cold fury meets death metal's brutality, carving out something harsh and unforgiving from the remote New England wilderness. Their sound has the isolation of the state baked into it.
Black metal project from Lisbon, formed in 2018. Como o Breu — Portuguese for 'like pitch' — crafts darkness-themed black metal from the Portuguese capital.
Compassion Fatigue grind through a corrosive intersection of black metal, death metal, and grindcore, channeling relentless hostility into short, caustic blasts of extreme noise.
