Stoner metal project from Italy, formed in 2023. Cułt of Chäga delivers heavy, fuzzed-out stoner grooves.
Black metal act from central Slovenia spanning Domžale, Šoštanj, and Celje, active since 2013. Cvinger has been a consistent force in Slovenian black metal for over a decade.
Raw black metal project from the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, active since 2016. Cvlt delivers lo-fi, stripped-down black metal from the contested peninsula.
Crust-sludge act from Pécs, Hungary, formed in 2012. Cvlt of Grace merges d-beat crust punk fury with suffocating sludge metal weight.
Finland's Cvlt Ov The Svn emerged in 2018 as an anonymous, one-person project that cheekily coined the term "occult murder pop" to describe their disorienting fusion of black metal atmospherics, gothic rock darkness, and seductive pop melodicism — a combination nodding to Ghost, Type O Negative, and Marilyn Manson in equal measure. Signed to Napalm Records, the project's 2021 debut We Are the Dragon brought their provocative aesthetic to a wider audience, making them one of the more intriguing and idiosyncratic voices in Finnish extreme music.
Black metal band from Catalonia, Spain, formed in 2015. They craft dark, atmospheric black metal from the Catalan underground.
Youngstown, Ohio doom and stoner metal band spelling out heaviness in a deliberately obscured name as raw and slow as their riffs. CVTTVNMVVTH drags through cavernous, fuzz-drenched dirges from the Rust Belt underground.
Danish black metal project emerging in 2025. They channel darkness through raw, atmospheric black metal.
Welsh black metal band formed in 2022. Their Welsh name meaning dragon cult, Cwlt Draig channel Celtic and draconic themes through black metal.
