California's Dick Wolf have been navigating the space between raw black metal and post-black metal's more atmospheric impulses since 2012. Their sound resists easy categorization — bleak but textured, aggressive but willing to breathe, operating comfortably in the margins between the genre's orthodox and experimental wings.

Relentless Progressive Power / Thrash Metal from El Paso.
Dictated plays death metal from Kampen in Overijssel, active since 2015 and commanding attention through authoritative, precisely executed compositions. Their name's imperious tone carries into music that leaves no room for negotiation — only submission.
Dictator is a black metal and funeral doom band from Nicosia, Cyprus, formed in 2020 and merging the icy hostility of black metal with the glacial pacing and crushing weight of funeral doom. Their sound channels despair and darkness through extended, suffocating compositions.
