New Jersey's Toilet Fucker, formed in 2025, operate deep in the lo-fi raw black metal underground, recording under the trvekvlt banner with the kind of abrasive, deliberately anti-polished sound that treats fidelity as the enemy.
please update this band
Westchester, New York's Torch and Sword emerged in 2020 as a raw black metal project that strips the genre back to its most primitive and confrontational form — crude production, relentless aggression, and an ethos that rejects the polished aesthetics of modern extreme metal. New York's dense underground has always had room for this kind of uncompromising work.
Torkage is a raw black metal project from Chesterfield, Derbyshire, formed in 2023. Their music embraces the lo-fi production and aggressive minimalism that define the raw black metal aesthetic.
Tornmód is a raw black metal project from London, formed in 2019. Their Old English-flavored name reflects an approach to black metal that draws from the ancient, primal darkness of Anglo-Saxon heritage.
An Austin, Texas raw black metal act formed in 2022, Torture embraces lo-fi production and primitive aggression — deliberately corrosive and antagonistic in the tradition of underground USBM's most unpolished factions.
Totaal is a raw black metal project from the UK, formed in 2020. Their music channels the most stripped-back and uncompromising form of black metal through lo-fi recordings that prioritize atmosphere and aggression over polish.
Raw black metal project from Belarus whose Bandcamp page documents their dedication to the most stripped-back and primitive end of the black metal spectrum. The band's name is French for 'torturer,' signaling an embrace of obscure, European-influenced raw black metal aesthetics common to underground Belarusian projects. Their recordings prioritize harshness and atmosphere over production, consistent with the lo-fi ethos of the global raw black metal underground.
Triste Séjour is a solo raw black metal project from French-speaking Switzerland, releasing material with distinctly Francophone titles like "Breume d'Âidjoûe," "La Crasse," and "Affamé" since 2024. The project embraces the lo-fi, deeply personal aesthetic of the one-person black metal tradition, channeling regional linguistic identity into its bleak sonic palette.
