M1 Garand is a Brazilian raw black metal solo project formed in 2022, with all instruments, vocals, mixing, and mastering handled by a member operating under the alias Soldier 'Charles' of 101st Airborne Division. The project carries an explicit anti-Nazi and anti-NSBM stance, reflected in its debut EP "The Party is Over Kraut" (2022), which blends World War II themes with sardonic humor directed at fascist ideology.
M60 in Hands is a raw black metal and noise solo project from Catanduva, São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2023 and operated entirely by Billy Grind, who handles all instruments and vocals. The project released the EP "Infinity War in My Head" in 2023 and appeared on the 2024 split "Old Skull Black Metal" alongside Night Goat on Podreira Records, paying tribute to first-wave black metal acts Von and Root.

Mal du Siècle is a raw antifascist black metal project from Spain, channeling 19th-century Romantic disillusionment through abrasive extremity.

Maledicō is a raw black metal duo from Etruria, Italy, consisting of Vexillarius on drums and GP5 Asphyxia on guitar and vocals. Their 2025 demo was recorded in Vexillarius's remote hut without mixing or polishing, embodying the bestial and war metal tradition of deliberately primitive sonic violence.
A fresh entry into the Brazilian raw black metal underground, Malefício operates in the harshest and most primitive end of the genre spectrum, embracing lo-fi production as an aesthetic weapon rather than a limitation. The project launched in 2024 and channels a relentless hatred through minimalist, corrosive songwriting.
Malicious Storm is a raw black metal band from Finland whose sound has 'merged into darkness.' Their 2022 debut full-length 'Forbidden Rites of the Black Arts' spans three expansive tracks across thirty-four minutes, released on CD through Obscure Abhorrence Productions and on cassette via The Hidden Art and Bitter Misery Records.
A black metal and ambient project from Hungary, Belzeroth has been crafting dark, atmospheric compositions since 2012. The project merges the aggression of black metal with the expansiveness of ambient music.
