Formed in Cape Town in 2018 by veterans of Wildernessking and Crow Black Sky, Constellatia craft aching, cinematic post-black metal that draws equally from the atmospheric grandeur of Wolves in the Throne Room and the melancholic sweep of Agalloch, with lyrical themes centered on human perseverance rather than black metal's customary misanthropy. Their debut The Language of Limbs (2019) earned them a deal with Season of Mist, and their sophomore Magisterial Romance (2022) further established them as one of the Southern Hemisphere's most distinctive extreme metal voices.
Cape Coral, Florida's Constellation combine doom metal's funeral tempos with stoner rock haze, crafting slow-burning heavy music that fits the sweltering Gulf Coast setting they call home.
Atmospheric black metal project from Finland, formed in 2016. They create vast, cosmic-themed atmospheres within a raw black metal framework.
Grand Rapids' Constellation Ophiuchus pursue technical death metal with an astronomical theme, building intricate and dissonant compositions that reflect the cold precision and cosmic scale their name implies.
Grindcore act from Prešov in eastern Slovakia, formed in 2020. Constipation delivers raw, provocative grinding extremity.
Baltimore's Constituents blend grindcore's velocity with death metal's weight and hardcore's confrontational edge, channeling the working-class grit of the Maryland scene into short, furious blasts of aggression.
Death-grind act from Moscow, formed in 2018. Constrained Ferocity delivers blast-driven extremity from the Russian capital.
Death-thrash metal band from Frutigen in the Bernese Oberland of Switzerland, active since 2015. Their sound combines the technical ferocity of death metal with the relentless drive of thrash.
Los Angeles's Constraints of Light explore the heavier end of sludge metal, constructing dense, slow-moving walls of distortion that feel as suffocating and expansive as the city that surrounds them.
