Raw black metal project from Kraków, Poland, formed in 2025. The project channels lo-fi, abrasive black metal from Poland's cultural capital.
Raw black metal project from Russia, active since 2019. The project delivers lo-fi, unpolished black metal in the underground tradition.
A raw black metal act born in El Paso in 2024, Ovis Adorator trades in the most stripped and corrosive end of the spectrum — lo-fi production, caustic tremolo, and a confrontational ritual edge baked into the name itself. The Chihuahuan Desert heat and proximity to the border lend a geographic isolation that suits the genre's uncompromising aesthetic.
Rhode Island's P.V.D. keeps raw black metal stripped to its most caustic and primitive essentials, with no polish and no compromise. The project's name doubles as a hat-tip to the Providence punk underground from which it emerged in 2019.
Raw black metal band from Saint Petersburg, Russia, formed in 2020, channeling pagan darkness through raw, unpolished black metal from the cultural capital of Russia. They bring primordial fury to the Petersburg underground.

Raw black metal and punk band from Budapest, Hungary, formed in 2019, combining the aggression of raw black metal with punk's stripped-down urgency. Their name means 'fallow land' in Hungarian.
Raw black metal project from Italy, formed in 2024, combining irreverent provocation with raw black metal extremity. Their deliberately crude name signals an uncompromising approach to underground black metal.
Allendorf's Pitfall has been laying sonic traps with black metal since 2012, operating from the Hessian countryside for over a decade. Their Marburg-Biedenkopf district setting provides the rural solitude that feeds their atmospheric, nature-influenced compositions.
