Lviv's Viter merges Ukrainian folk traditions with industrial metal's mechanized textures, creating a distinctive hybrid that balances electronic elements with traditional instrumentation. Their compositions celebrate Ukrainian cultural heritage through an unexpectedly modern sonic lens, incorporating folk melodies and acoustic passages alongside electronic production.
Named after the Norse prophetic poem, Voluspaa channels Oslo's industrial metal underground with mechanized rhythms and processed vocals over dense, electronic-infused arrangements. Their dark, machine-driven sound draws from both Scandinavian metal tradition and industrial experimentation.
Norwegian project Vonn operates at the punishing intersection of drone, doom, and industrial metal, creating suffocating walls of low-frequency sound. Their compositions stretch time and patience alike, building massive soundscapes from distorted feedback and mechanized percussion.
Vosforis is an industrial black metal project from London, formed in 2024. They merge mechanized industrial textures with black metal's raw intensity.

Czech industrial metal project from Pilsen active since 2001, blending black metal, industrial, and EBM elements across a deep catalog spanning nearly two decades.
