Raw black metal project from Sofia, Bulgaria, formed in 2023. Their lo-fi, uncompromising sound draws on the most primitive currents of Eastern European black metal tradition.
Atlanta's Hackenschmied is a freshly minted raw black metal project, born in 2025 and committed to the genre's most primitive and abrasive aesthetic. Little studio gloss, maximum sonic hostility.
Born out of rural Pennsylvania in 2022, Halo of Flesh deal in raw black metal and noise — corrosive, lo-fi, and deliberately hostile. There is nothing polished about what they do, and that is entirely the point.
Out of Concord, New Hampshire, Halo Pus strip black metal down to its most primitive bones — cold riffs, hissing production, and an atmosphere that feels like winter on a dead road. Raw and uncompromising since 2020.

Black metal and dungeon synth duo from Klagenfurt, Austria, combining cold, harsh black metal with dreamy synthesizer soundscapes and shrieking vocals. Their release Rauhnachtsreigen, a compilation of two demos recorded in cellars and a cave in the Carinthian region, was issued through Into Endless Chaos Records in 2022.
Operating out of Granbury, Texas since 2004, Hatestorm33 deal in raw, unpolished black metal with forays into dungeon synth — lo-fi and uncompromising in a way that feels deliberately removed from the mainstream.
Raw black metal project from Belgium, steadily building a body of work across four numbered demos since their formation in 2019. Each release strips the genre down to its most primal elements, favoring unpolished aggression over studio refinement.
Raw lo-fi black metal outfit from Vienna, Austria, formed in 2023. Featuring Lord Blackout and Count Necro on vocals, Frost Commander on guitar, and The Machine on drums, they channel the rawest traditions of the second wave into stripped-down, forest-themed black metal.
