Watertown, Massachusetts black metal project. The numerical name strips away any pretense of mythology, leaving only raw, anonymous extremity from the Boston suburbs.
Black metal project of unknown origin. The devil's number meets liberation in a name that pairs Satanic imagery with political aspiration.
Grindcore and crust punk band from Recife, Pernambuco, active from 2012 until their split. The name translates to Seven Days of Massacre, nodding to the blunt, politically charged tradition of Brazilian and international crust grindcore. Recife has produced a small but fierce extreme underground, and 7 Dias de Massacre operated within that scene, blending the noise-driven blast of grindcore with the anarchic energy of crust punk.
An orthodox black metal band from Rio de Janeiro whose members perform anonymously under the collective name 7 Peles, staging rituals with robes, candles, and altars. The band has released three albums — O Primeiro Evangelho do 7 Peles (2019), O Segundo Evangelho do 7 Peles (2020), and O Terceiro Evangelho do 7 Peles (2022) — built around Luciferian and Gnostic theology. Their reach extended internationally when Mayhem guitarist Charles Ghul Hedger and vocalist Attila Csihar contributed to their recordings.
Hartford, Connecticut death metal project whose name reads like a forensic manual chapter heading. Clinical extremity from the Insurance Capital.
Death metal project spanning Chicago, Detroit, and Oakland — three of America's grittiest cities united in pestilence. The name conjures biblical plague imagery.
Philpot, Kentucky deathcore project whose name references the biblical command to forgive seventy times seven. Christian-themed brutality from rural western Kentucky.
Cleveland, Ohio melodic death metal project named after the number of demons in the Ars Goetia. Occult-themed melodeath from the Rock City.
Tampa, Florida crust punk and sludge outfit. Aggressive, politically charged heaviness from the birthplace of Florida death metal.
