Black metal, death metal, and experimental act from London, England active since 2011. They push genre boundaries with avant-garde extremity from the British capital.
Eugene, Oregon's Earthenwomb has been navigating experimental black metal and noise since 2008, a project that refuses to play it straight — unsettling, abrasive, and genuinely strange in ways that keep the genre alive.
East West Blast Test is a collaborative grindcore and power violence project formed in 1999, pairing drummer Dave Witte (Burnt by the Sun, Human Remains) on the East Coast with multi-instrumentalist Chris Dodge (Spazz) on the West Coast, assembling material via mailed tapes. Their self-titled debut (2003) stacked jazz-noise, thrash, and hardcore into 27 rapid-fire tracks, with guests including Municipal Waste's Tony Foresta and Faith No More's Dean Menta. A second album, Popular Music for Unpopular People, raised the chaos further on Ipecac Recordings.
Experimental black metal project from London, England active since 2008. They push black metal into avant-garde territory from the British capital.

Experimental black metal band from Dijon, France active since 2005. They push black metal's boundaries with avant-garde experimentation from the heart of Burgundy.
Brooklyn's Edenic Past bring an experimental edge to brutal death metal, formed in 2020 with a technical framework that pushes against the subgenre's more rigid conventions.
Experimental heavy metal band from Rijeka, Croatia formed in 2022. They push heavy metal boundaries from the Adriatic port city.
Boston's Ehnahre occupies genuinely difficult terrain: experimental doom and death metal that refuses the comfort of familiar structures, built since 2008 by musicians who seem more interested in dread and dissonance than aggression alone.
