Black-speed-thrash act from Nowy Targ in the Tatra mountain foothills, formed in 2023. Chalice of Damnation channels high-velocity blackened thrash from the Polish highlands.
California raw black metal project Chalice of Eden operate in the lo-fi, primitive tradition of raw black metal, prioritizing atmosphere and nihilistic intensity over production polish. Their music is harsh and stripped down, indebted to the second-wave Scandinavian style.
Black metal project from Poznań, formed in 2021. Chalice of Mankind crafts atmospheric black metal from Greater Poland.
Minneapolis, Minnesota funeral doom act Chalice of Suffering specialize in crushingly slow, grief-laden doom metal in the tradition of Skepticism and Mournful Congregation. Their songs are long, immersive, and built around an overwhelming sense of weight and despair.
Heavy metal band from North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, formed in 2018. They forge classic heavy metal built on strong riffs and anthemic hooks.
Post-metal and sludge outfit from Minsk, Belarus, formed in 2018. They craft dense, atmospheric compositions layering crushing sludge riffs over expansive post-metal dynamics.
