Doom/post-black metal one-man project from São Paulo, created in 2020 by Bruno Cassoni, guitarist of Songs of Oblivion. The debut album Epiphany, comprising five original compositions, was recorded entirely by Cassoni at his Obscure Room home studio and released in 2020; he followed it with the atmospheric single "Eternal Winter" in June 2022.
Salt Lake City's This Perfect Day have been operating since 2013 at the intersection of raw black metal and post-black metal's introspective expansiveness, drawing on the stark landscape of Utah's high desert for atmosphere.
New Jersey's To Writhe Love on Her Arms, formed in 2023, occupy an emotionally raw corner of post-black metal where shoegaze textures and atmospheric black metal converge — introspective, layered, and deliberately fragile.
Philadelphia's Tower of Babel, active since 2014, approach post-black metal with an emphasis on texture and emotional breadth, blending the genre's dissonant tremolo foundations with the expansive, atmospheric dynamics that define the post-black movement.
Seattle's Trauma Sounds blend black metal's harsh atmosphere with post-black metal's more expansive, textured approach, incorporating shoegaze elements into a sound that fits the grey, introspective character of the Pacific Northwest.
