Atmospheric black metal project from France launched in 2023. They craft contemplative, layered black metal atmospheres.
Black metal act from La Chaux-de-Fonds, Switzerland, channeling raw, uncompromising darkness since 2020. Named after the ancient Greek deity of wide-flowing waters, their sound carries an oceanic depth beneath its black metal ferocity.
Venomous Black Metal out of Texas.
Depressive black metal project from Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, channeling bleakness and emotional torment since 2014. Their name, a variant of "eurythmy" meaning harmonious movement, provides an ironic contrast to the dissonant despair of their sound.
In existence since 2006, this Pervouralsk Black Metal, Melodic Black Metal, and Symphonic Metal outfit delivers orchestral grandeur married to heavy guitar-driven foundations. Their place within Russia's sprawling, uncompromising metal landscape speaks to the depth of the region's heavy music culture.
Arti's metal underground has produced no shortage of heavy acts, and this black metal unit is among them — wielding dissonant chord progressions shrouded in reverb-drenched malice. Atmosphere and hostility share equal billing in their work.
A solo black metal project based in Greenville, Texas, Evan Cotner has been building an idiosyncratic body of work since 2005 that spans black metal and various adjacent territories. Operating from the rural expanse of Northeast Texas, the project carries the isolated, self-driven spirit common to the most committed one-person black metal undertakings.
Straddling the line between black metal and folk metal, this Swedish actfrom Borlänge fuses regional folk traditions amplified through distortion and blast beats into a cohesive whole. They've been at it since 2014, and their sound resists easy categorization, blending influences into something distinctly their own.
Melodic black/doom metal project from the Engadin valley in the Swiss Alps, merging the bleakness of black metal with doom's crushing weight since 2010. Their Alpine setting infuses their sound with the isolation and grandeur of Switzerland's most dramatic mountain landscapes.
