Straddling the line between black metal and raw black metal, this Polish actfrom Goleniów fuses dissonant chord progressions shrouded in reverb-drenched malice into a cohesive whole. They've been at it since 2015, and atmosphere and hostility share equal billing in their work.

Washington state's Eunuch have been issuing raw black metal fused with punk's blunt belligerence since 2006, making them one of the longer-tenured acts in the Pacific Northwest's extreme underground. Their lo-fi brutalism makes no concessions to accessibility or comfort.

On the warpath since 2024, this Yefremov Black Metal and Raw Black Metal outfit delivers icy tremolo lines cascading over relentless percussion. Their place within Russia's sprawling, uncompromising metal landscape speaks to the depth of the region's heavy music culture.
Exumação de Anneliese are a raw black metal project from São Paulo, formed in 2020, whose members operate under the pseudonyms Fantasma do Acaso, Aparição Flamejante, and Presença Imaterial. The band debuted with Negações ao Absurdo in 2020 and released a second full-length the same year before continuing to expand their catalog with O abismo olha de volta (2021) and Monastério do irracionalismo (2024). Their sound draws on lo-fi black metal aesthetics infused with a distinctly introspective, nihilistic Portuguese-language sensibility.
