Loveland, Colorado's Mount Cairn channel the raw, unpolished fury of the Rocky Mountain landscape into punishing raw black metal, eschewing production polish in favor of harsh, primitive recordings that feel genuinely inhospitable. Active since 2013, they represent the underground's most uncompromising strain in a state with a strong tradition of extreme metal.
Murokhamma is an atmospheric/raw black metal project from the remote Kirov Oblast town of Kirovo-Chepetsk, formed in 2023. The project channels the isolation of the Vyatka river region into expansive, lo-fi black metal.
Mvthfvlovdvrt is a raw black metal and noise project from the UK, formed in 2018. They channel abrasive extremity through a harsh blend of raw black metal and noise.
Emerging from the remote environs of Luna Lake, Arizona in 2017, Myotis Occultus practices raw black metal with the isolation and esotericism that the name implies, stripping production to bare minimum in service of pure, malevolent atmosphere.
Myrkyttää is a raw black metal and ambient project from Limoges, France, formed in 2022. Their Finnish name meaning "to poison" reflects their toxic blend of raw black metal and ambient textures.
An Austrian solo raw black metal project, Mysterivm Xarxes channels what its creator calls "esoteric death currents and inner decay through lo-fi sonic invocations." The project has produced a prolific stream of releases including Blizzards of the Bloodmoon, Vernichtungsschmerz, and multiple splits, all operating entirely outside label structures as self-described "offerings to the void."
Boston's Mythos operate in the raw black metal underground, stripping the genre to its most primitive and abrasive core since forming in 2020. The band embraces lo-fi production and ferocious minimalism as intentional aesthetics rather than limitations.
