Myrkyttää is a raw black metal and ambient project from Limoges, France, formed in 2022. Their Finnish name meaning "to poison" reflects their toxic blend of raw black metal and ambient textures.
An Austrian solo raw black metal project, Mysterivm Xarxes channels what its creator calls "esoteric death currents and inner decay through lo-fi sonic invocations." The project has produced a prolific stream of releases including Blizzards of the Bloodmoon, Vernichtungsschmerz, and multiple splits, all operating entirely outside label structures as self-described "offerings to the void."
Boston's Mythos operate in the raw black metal underground, stripping the genre to its most primitive and abrasive core since forming in 2020. The band embraces lo-fi production and ferocious minimalism as intentional aesthetics rather than limitations.
