Aikeimd channels raw black metal from an undisclosed Dutch location since 2021. Their cryptic, indecipherable name reinforces the deliberate obscurity of their lo-fi black metal approach.
Ald Daedroth is a one-person Austrian raw ambient black metal project drawing direct lyrical and conceptual inspiration from the Elder Scrolls video game universe, with releases including Blizzards of the Bloodmoon and Chamber of Tukushapal. The project operates under Blackflame Records and sits at the crossroads of raw black metal, dark ambient, and video game lore, carving out an unusual niche in the underground.
Alisgema channels raw and depressive black metal from an undisclosed Ukrainian location since 2023. Their enigmatic name drives compositions of lo-fi emotional devastation.
Alkaphrah creates experimental raw black metal and ambient from Saint Petersburg since 2021. Named after a star in the Ursa Major constellation, their cosmic-lo-fi approach bridges stellar vastness with basement-level rawness.
Formed in Zomergem in 2005, Alkerdeel built their sound from partially improvised garage sessions using only guitar, drum, and voice recorded on tape — no bass. Their catalog runs from the raw sludge/black crushing of De Bollaf! (2008) and De Speenzalvinge (2010) through collaborations with Gnaw Their Tongues, to the stripped-down raw black metal of Slonk (2021) on Consouling Sounds.
Alone Path is a one-man raw black metal project from Cabo Frio, Rio de Janeiro, formed in 2024 by a multi-instrumentalist named Felipe. The project channels lo-fi, atmospheric black metal with lyrical themes rooted in depression, luciferianism, and occult introspection.
Amanite delivers raw black metal from the Mediterranean port of Toulon since 2015, named after the deadly Amanita mushroom genus. Their toxic fungal name suits a sound designed to be as lethal and unpalatable as the poisonous fungi they honor.
Amargo is a Brazilian raw black metal solo project by Victor "Oguh" Ramos, who handles all instruments, vocals, and lyrics. Rooted in the tradition of second-wave black metal with acknowledged influences ranging from Burzum and Darkthrone to local acts Sarcófago and Mystifier, the project released its debut album "Processo de purificação" in 2015 on the Ad Eternum label, blending lo-fi atmospheric black metal with dark ambient elements. A subsequent split with Kav was released through Wolfmond Production, cementing Amargo's place in Brazil's underground raw black metal underground.
Amdusias channels raw black metal from the Pyrenean city of Pau since 2018, named after a great duke of Hell from demonological texts. Their infernal inspiration feeds unpolished, lo-fi compositions drawn from the shadow of the mountains.
