Vienna's Angelcunt operate at the extreme crossroads of black and death metal, drawing on the deliberately confrontational tradition of early Scandinavian black metal. Their material couples blast-beat aggression with venomous, anti-religious lyricism and the low-fi rawness of the underground tape-trading circuit.
Rising from the ashes of power/gothic act The Stormrider, Angeldark has been crafting symphonic gothic metal in Gijón since 2007. Their concept album "Angélique" featured the Bratislava Symphony Orchestra & Choir and was produced by Santiago Fano, revealing ambitions that stretch far beyond Asturias's borders.
Angeldust is a heavy metal band from Darmstadt, Germany, formed in 2023, delivering classic heavy metal from the heart of Hesse. The band is a recent addition to the German heavy metal scene, carrying forward the genre's riff-driven traditions.
Chicago thrash metal act whose 2022 single Ride It Out delivers focused, no-nonsense thrash from a city with an endless appetite for speed and aggression.
Angelfuck has practiced black metal from Vantaa in the Helsinki metropolitan area since 1997, making them one of Finland's longer-running black metal acts. Nearly three decades of blasphemous activity have cemented their place in the Finnish underground.
Angelgoat practices black metal from Vrbas in Vojvodina since 1999, over a quarter century of activity from this Bačka town. Their blasphemous-hybrid name captures the contradictions of combining the divine and the Sabbatic.
Devastating Brutal Death Metal from Houston, Texas / Beloit, Wisconsin.
Morgantown, West Virginia doom metal project with a staggering seven releases since 2024, demonstrating a creative output that borders on compulsive. Their catalog plumbs the depths of lo-fi doom with provocative titles and relentless productivity from the Mountain State.
Denver thrash metal outfit active since 2014, building a four-release catalog of ferocious speed metal. From the bluntly titled Evilgasm to the more ambitious Orchestrionic Abortion, they've grown from raw thrash into something more surgically precise without losing their edge.
