Trondheim-based melodic black metal project active since 2017, tempering raw aggression with sweeping arrangements and harmonized guitar leads. Their approach balances the genre's inherent hostility with moments of dark grandeur.
Broughton's Rules is a Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania instrumental post-rock and math rock band founded in 2009 by members including guitarist Jeff Ellsworth, formerly of Don Caballero and Blunderbuss. Their debut album Bounty Hunter 1853, released on Relapse Records in 2010, was praised for blending heavy post-rock, Krautrock, and Morricone-influenced guitar work, with the band explicitly distancing themselves from technical math rock conventions in favor of song-first composition. Their instrumental approach positions them at the intersection of Don Caballero's angular math formalism and the more atmospheric textures of post-metal.
Spanish power metal band from Murcia, formed in 2017. They deliver powerful, anthemic power metal from southeastern Spain.
Lovecraft-obsessed one-man project of droning black metal colliding with funeral doom. Three albums on Moribund Records before dissolving in 2008 after just two years.
Milan-based post-doom outfit active since 2023, building dynamic compositions that arc between quiet introspection and crushing, distortion-soaked climaxes. Their patient approach to heavy music rewards the listener with cathartic crescendos born from extended tension.
Spanish black metal band from Málaga, formed in 2023. They channel vampiric black metal from the Andalusian coast.
Ivano-Frankivsk-based brutal death metal outfit active since 2021, delivering relentless blastbeat-driven punishment and guttural vocal extremity. Their compositions trade in the genre's heaviest currency: slamming breakdowns, inhuman vocals, and wall-to-wall brutality.
German black metal band from Leipzig, formed in 2017. They channel raw black metal from one of eastern Germany's strongest metal cities.
Cold, unrelenting black metal from Irkutsk, active since 2002. Their sound embodies the genre's core principles: razor-sharp tremolo picking, furious drumming, and an atmosphere thick with hostility and darkness.
