Meralgia is a solo raw black metal project from Málaga, Spain, created entirely by artist N.W. Blending raw black metal with drone ambient and dungeon synth, the 2022 album 'The Path Of Sorrow' was proudly produced on FreeBSD, with artwork generated through AI collaboration.
Mharasiidr is a raw black metal project from Mikhaylovsk in the Stavropol region, formed in 2022. The project delivers primitive, lo-fi black metal from southern Russia.
Misanthropic emerged from Espírito Santo's underground with a corrosive, lo-fi approach to black metal, channeling pure hostility through deliberately raw production and abrasive riffing. The project surfaced with the promotional demo Pain in 2005 and followed with the album Echoes of the Nightmare in 2007, cementing their place in the uncompromising Brazilian raw black metal scene.
Beerkrieg is a speed/thrash metal and crossover act from the Dalmatian town of Sinj, delivering alcohol-fueled aggression since 2014. The band channels the irreverent energy of party thrash into their crossover sound.
Mongool is a raw black metal project from the Netherlands, active since 2019. The project delivers primitive, lo-fi black metal with the stripped-down aggression that defines the raw subgenre.
Out of Virginia Beach, Monolittisk have been practicing raw, primitive black metal since 2015 — the name (Norwegian for 'monolithic') signals the project's intent: unpolished, cold, and deliberately minimal.
A raw black metal project from the Västmanland town of Köping, Monstraat has been crafting primitive black metal since 2008. The project delivers uncompromising, lo-fi aggression from central Sweden.
Moonlantern is a San Diego raw black metal and dungeon synth project formed in 2018, occupying the atmospheric, lo-fi end of the underground where raw black metal and ambient synth work share the same physical and spiritual space. The dungeon synth dimension sets them apart from pure raw black metal acts, suggesting a project as interested in solitary introspection as in harsh noise.
Moonlight Romantica is a Connecticut raw black metal project formed in 2024 that weaves gothic influence through its harsh lo-fi framework, creating music that is ugly and beautiful in roughly equal measure. The gothic element gives their sound a melodic, romanticist pull that works in tension with the rawness of the production.
