Philadelphia black metal project from the Pennsylvania underground.
Antiklan is a post-doom and sludge metal trio from Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, formed in 2022. The band — vocalist Julia Gusso, guitarist and bassist Flávio França, and drummer Max Barros — released their debut album 'Under Wetiko (Hymns from beneath the Veil)' in 2022, a five-track record recorded at Studio Black Hole in Natal and mixed in São Paulo. Their heavy, socially charged sound blends sludge and doom with an explicitly DIY, anti-authoritarian ethos, earning comparisons to punk-infused sludge.

Antikristus channels black metal from Vantaa since 2021, their Finnish-language anti-Christian name leaving no ambiguity about their thematic direction. The project adds to the greater Helsinki area's vast black metal underground.
Vienna's Antikvlt channel the misanthropic and anti-institutional spirit suggested by their name into a confrontational brand of raw black metal. The project sits in deliberate opposition to commercialised metal aesthetics, keeping production primitive and ideological content unfiltered.
Portland doom metal project named after the ancient Greek astronomical calculator.
New York black metal project whose 2019 debut Silence Under The Sun pairs nihilistic philosophy with atmospheric black metal. The name's compressed formatting and the album's cosmic bleakness suggest a modern, post-industrial approach to the genre.
Antillia creates symphonic and power metal from Moscow since 2011. Named after the mythical island that appeared on medieval maps of the Atlantic, their nearly fifteen-year body of work navigates between fantastical themes and orchestral grandeur.
