Raw black metal project from Mikhaylovsk, Russia, active since 2017. Their forest-themed name accompanies lo-fi black metal from the Stavropol region.
Minnesota's Roosevelt has been operating in the harsh end of raw black metal since 2014, leaning fully into the stripped-down, abrasive aesthetic that defines the style at its most uncompromising. The project carries a distinctly solitary quality, the kind of cold-weather bleakness that feels native to the upper Midwest.
Dallas's Rosary Grave formed in 2023 at the crossroads of raw black metal and dungeon synth, pairing corrosive, low-fidelity black metal with ambient passages that feel genuinely haunted rather than decorative. It's a young project, but one that already sounds like it has a clear and unsettling vision.
Raw black metal project from Astrakhan on the Caspian Sea, active since 2016. The project delivers lo-fi, abrasive black metal from the Volga delta.
Rotten Moon is a raw black metal project from Tampere, Finland, formed in 2024. The project delivers lo-fi, unpolished black metal from Finland's third-largest city.
Texas act Rougarou, formed in 2024, takes their name from the Cajun werewolf legend and channels it into raw black metal laced with folk elements — an unsettling mix that roots their sound in regional myth and primitive riffing. It's an early but sharp-edged project with a distinctly American folkloric slant.
Raw black metal project from Hampshire, England, formed in 2021. The project delivers lo-fi, abrasive black metal from the English south.
