Demonized is a black metal band from La Spezia, in Liguria, Italy, formed in 2018. The project delivers dark and aggressive black metal from the Ligurian coast underground.
Formed in Waregem and Roeselare in 2001, Demonizer play black and thrash metal steeped in chaos, war, and anti-Christian themes in the tradition of old-school European black-thrash. After a long hiatus the band reformed in 2021 on Painkiller Records, and their discography includes Thrashing Force...Attack, Triumphator, and The Essence of War.
Demonochorus is a Brazilian funeral doom metal project based in Valinhos, São Paulo, formed in 2019 by multi-instrumentalist Nataskia Müller, who handles all instruments. The band released the EP "Lost Faith" in July 2019, exploring themes of misery, depression, and spiritual decay through slow, crushing compositions.
Demonochtets is a raw black metal and dungeon synth project from Dubăsari in Moldova's breakaway Transnistria region, pairing lo-fi black metal aggression with synth-driven medieval atmospherics. Their dual-genre approach shifts between savage blasting and contemplative keyboard passages that evoke crumbling castle corridors.
Madison, Wisconsin's Demonolatry occupy a distinctive niche, fusing black metal's misanthropic atmosphere with industrial metal's mechanical, synthetic textures since 2015. Cold programmed rhythms and processed sonic violence meet the rawness of black metal ideology in a way that feels genuinely disorienting and confrontational.
Demonolith plays death metal from Komsomolsk-on-Amur in Russia's Far East, active since 1993 and one of the longest-running death metal acts east of the Urals. Over three decades they've maintained an extreme metal presence in a remote Pacific city built by Stalinist labor.
