Nvnfvkker is a raw black metal project from Aachen, formed in 2025. The project brings lo-fi black metal fury to the westernmost major city in Germany.
A raw black metal project out of Denver, Colorado, Nybbas traffics in lo-fi abrasion and primitive darkness with the stripped-down aesthetic that defines the genre's underground fringe. Active since 2015, the project leans hard into unpolished, confrontational sound over any production refinement.
A freshly formed raw black metal act out of Atlanta, Georgia, Nyvrosk arrived in 2025 with the no-frills, primitive approach central to the style — harsh production, direct riffing, and an adversarial atmosphere that owes more to bedroom-recorded cult recordings than any polished extreme metal tradition.
