Templo Negro are a raw black metal act from Luis Guillón, Buenos Aires, Argentina, whose debut album "Eclipsando la última luz" was released in 2020 on Nekrolust Records as a limited CD edition of 110 copies.

The album was later issued on CD digipak through Paragon Records.
Colorado's Terrorized by Winter are brand new as of 2025, stepping into the raw black metal tradition with the mountain state's characteristic extremity — cold, unforgiving, and built from pure adversarial instinct. Raw black metal at its most elemental, the kind of music that sounds like it was recorded in a blizzard and wants you to feel every degree of it.
Raw black metal project The Beast originates from Andrimont in the Liège province of Belgium and is a side-project of Nornagest, the leader of the long-running Belgian black metal institution Enthroned. The music is intentionally primitive and lo-fi, sitting in the vein of Beherit, Von, and Striborg, with thematic content rooted in Satanism and anti-religion.
Thirsting Ampoule emerged in 2025 as a raw black/death metal project, trading in corrosive production and savage extremity that keeps both genres at their most uncompromising.
Thrakatuluk from an undisclosed Spanish location blend raw black metal with dungeon synth and ambient, creating a multi-dimensional sonic universe since 2024. Their fantastical, Tolkienesque name drives compositions that oscillate between primal aggression and immersive synthesizer atmospheres.
Thriven from Berlin craft raw black metal that strips the genre to its most primal essence, embracing lo-fi production and visceral intensity since 2020. Their approach channels the underground ethos of the capital's vast extreme music scene through unpolished, ferocious compositions.
Derby, Kansas one-piece Throsk works deep in raw black metal and ambient territory since 2016, stripping the sound back to primitive aggression and abrasive texture with no concern for production sheen. The project fuses the nihilistic spirit of raw black metal with stretches of cold, isolationist ambient — a fitting approach for the flat, windswept Kansas plains.
