Roman progressive death metal outfit formed in 2018, drawing heavy inspiration from Italian horror cinema and progressive rock legends like Goblin and King Crimson. Their 2020 debut Hypnagogic Hallucinations on 20 Buck Spin and 2024's widely acclaimed Dreaming the Strife for Love established them as one of Italy's most exciting death metal voices, recently signing to Season of Mist.
Beecher were a metalcore and noise rock band from Manchester, England, formed in 2001, who developed a reputation for fusing mathematical heaviness with progressive and dissonant structures well outside the mainstream metalcore of their era. Signed to Earache Records, they released two full-length albums—Breaking the Fourth Wall (2003) and This Elegy, His Autopsy (2005)—before disbanding in early 2006. Their catalog remained an influential reference point for the underground British hardcore and metal scene.
Grindcore and brutal death metal band from London, active since 2016. Their albums A Jigsaw of a Flock of Geese and Leftover Pieces deliver grinding extremity from the London underground.
Beegar was a death metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, active in the late 1990s. The five-piece — featuring dual guitars alongside a rhythm section and vocalist João — released two underground demos: "Otiumcule" (1997) and "Choose Your Vitals" (1999), the latter containing the tracks "The List: Choose Your Vitals" and "Saint Rape." The band operated entirely within São Paulo's underground circuit before dissolving, leaving only demo recordings as their legacy.
Athens-based avant-garde black metal project active since 2024, pushing the genre's boundaries through unconventional structures, dissonant harmonies, and unexpected instrumental choices. Their restless creativity defies easy categorization within the broader black metal spectrum.
Spanish black metal band from Madrid, formed in 2020. They deliver demonic black metal from the heart of Spain.
Black metal project from Buckingham, active since 2020. Their tracks spanning titles like Okkult and Sinner explore occult and spiritual themes through raw, uncompromising black metal.
Beelzeebubth is a black/death metal project from Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, linked to the Brazilian Ritual Records underground network. The project blends war metal aggression with politically-charged lyrical themes — historical atrocities, indigenous spirituality, and environmental destruction rendered through a satanic lens. Their 2020 EP "Sæculum Obscurum (Regressing More Than A Generation)" featured guest vocalists from Acheron (Vincent Crowley), Masacre (Alex Okendo), and Inquisition (Dagon), with Beelzeebubth handling all songwriting and production.
Beelzeebuth was a death/black metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, that formed and dissolved within the 2020s as an unsigned underground act. Distinct from the similarly-named Beelzeebubth from Salvador, this São Paulo project operated in the raw, extreme end of Brazilian death-black metal — a tradition with deep roots in the city's prolific underground scene — before splitting up after a brief run.
