A California-based black metal project formed in 2019, contributing the track In His Offertory to the 2021 compilation The Black Archive Volume I.
Baphomaster were a sludge/doom metal band from Rio de Janeiro whose sound drew on leviathan-weight riffs and desperate, abrasive vocals. Their 2015 demo — recorded live in rehearsal with a single microphone at Estúdio Fórum — introduced tracks like "Swamp of Sorrow" and "The Abyss," capturing a raw, suffocating atmosphere. They followed that with the album "Bong Or Die" in 2018 before splitting up, leaving behind a short but genuinely heavy catalog.
Danish black metal band from Næstved, formed in 2023. They channel demonic black metal from the southern Zealand town.
Baphomet's Violence is a death/thrash metal band from Guadalajara, Jalisco, formed in December 2019 under the name Black Violence before rebranding in late 2020. The band is characterized by a raw, fast sound drawing on old-school extreme metal, with lyrical themes centered on violence, Satanism, and death. They released the Black Violence EP in 2022, preceded by several singles and a demo.
Death metal and grindcore band from Glasgow, active since 2012. They deliver aggressive extremity rooted in the grinding, abrasive end of the Scottish metal underground.
Baphometh were a black metal band from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, active in the early-to-mid 2010s before splitting up. Porto Alegre has produced a distinct strand of Brazilian black metal influenced by both the raw South American tradition and Northern European styles, and Baphometh operated within that underground, releasing material independently with occult and adversarial themes.
Baphometron is a Black Metal band from Manizales, Colombia, founded in 1998 and currently based in Pereira, Risaralda. They operate under Dark Circles Productions and released their debut demo "Baphomilenios" in September 2023, a two-track recording sung in Spanish.
Black metal project from Istanbul, emerging in 2022. Their compositions draw from the wellspring of second-wave Scandinavian tradition while filtering it through the cultural context of their Turkish origins.
Norwegian melodic black metal project active since 2024, tempering raw aggression with sweeping arrangements and harmonized guitar leads. Their approach balances the genre's inherent hostility with moments of dark grandeur.
