Inner Abyss is a black metal and dungeon synth project from Ushuaia, Tierra del Fuego, Argentina — one of the southernmost cities on Earth — formed in 2011. The band released their self-titled debut album in September 2011, followed by the EPs "Outer Space" (2014) and "Totengesänge" (2015), and the album "Don't Dream It's Over" in 2023. Their catalog blends raw black metal with atmospheric synthesizer work, and the project maintains an active Bandcamp presence.
Mormoth is a one-person raw black metal and dungeon synth project from Neiva, Colombia, founded in 2023. The project operates under the Blackflame Records label and has been prolific since its formation, releasing multiple full-lengths including Anticristo and El Bajo Astral alongside the Imperium Satanae EP, all within its first two years. Lyrically the project explores Satanism, paganism, and anti-Christian themes.
Naqke is a one-man São Paulo project that pairs raw black metal with dungeon synth, releasing a steady stream of material since 2023 including Old House Memories, Arcadian Tapes I, and The Magicians of Middle Earth. The project shifts freely between abrasive, lo-fi black metal and more solitary, keyboard-driven dungeon synth passages, often within the same release.
Shadow Knell is a Philadelphia, Pennsylvania dungeon synth and dark ambient project featuring members of the band Poison Ruin. The project draws from dungeon synth forebears Mortiis and Penitent as well as the cosmic ambient work of Tangerine Dream and Klaus Schulze, constructing somber synth-drone landscapes built around layered orchestral textures and a sense of medieval fantasy mythology. Their self-titled debut album was released through Relapse Records in August 2024, receiving recognition from Bandcamp Daily as an album of distinction within the dungeon synth genre.
