Sweden's Craft, originally formed under the name Nocta in 1994, deal in a corrosive, deliberately primitive strain of black metal indebted to Burzum and Darkthrone but sharpened by a uniquely nihilistic and misanthropic edge. Across five albums — from the crushing debut Total Soul Rape (2000) through the acclaimed White Noise and Black Metal (2018) — they have maintained an uncompromising hostility to musical trend and commercial ambition, earning a devoted cult following in the underground for their unwavering commitment to black metal's most austere values.
Finland's Cvlt Ov The Svn emerged in 2018 as an anonymous, one-person project that cheekily coined the term "occult murder pop" to describe their disorienting fusion of black metal atmospherics, gothic rock darkness, and seductive pop melodicism — a combination nodding to Ghost, Type O Negative, and Marilyn Manson in equal measure. Signed to Napalm Records, the project's 2021 debut We Are the Dragon brought their provocative aesthetic to a wider audience, making them one of the more intriguing and idiosyncratic voices in Finnish extreme music.
