Maledicō is a raw black metal duo from Etruria, Italy, consisting of Vexillarius on drums and GP5 Asphyxia on guitar and vocals. Their 2025 demo was recorded in Vexillarius's remote hut without mixing or polishing, embodying the bestial and war metal tradition of deliberately primitive sonic violence.
A fresh entry into the Brazilian raw black metal underground, Malefício operates in the harshest and most primitive end of the genre spectrum, embracing lo-fi production as an aesthetic weapon rather than a limitation. The project launched in 2024 and channels a relentless hatred through minimalist, corrosive songwriting.
Malicious Storm is a raw black metal band from Finland whose sound has 'merged into darkness.' Their 2022 debut full-length 'Forbidden Rites of the Black Arts' spans three expansive tracks across thirty-four minutes, released on CD through Obscure Abhorrence Productions and on cassette via The Hidden Art and Bitter Misery Records.
A black metal and ambient project from Hungary, Belzeroth has been crafting dark, atmospheric compositions since 2012. The project merges the aggression of black metal with the expansiveness of ambient music.
A raw black metal project from Seville, Maranasati draws its name from Buddhist meditation on death and channels that morbid contemplation into lo-fi, tremolo-driven compositions. Emerging in 2020, the project reflects Andalusia's growing extreme metal underground.
A raw black metal project from Catania at the foot of Mount Etna, Mark of the Beast channels volcanic fury into primitive, lo-fi aggression since 2024. The project draws from the biblical imagery of its name.
Ferocious Speed / Thrash Metal from Houston.
Masturbory is a raw black metal and grindcore band from Helsinki, Finland, formed in 2021. They fuse raw black metal's lo-fi hostility with grindcore's explosive brevity.
A raw black metal entity from Bosnia and Herzegovina, Mavet operates deep in the underground with limited public documentation beyond their Bandcamp presence.
