Doomguard plays black metal from Kazan, the capital of Tatarstan, formed in 2025 and stationed at the intersection of Slavic and Tatar cultural traditions. Their sentinel name suggests guardianship of darkness — protectors of black metal's malevolent flame.
Seattle's DoomHawk have been one of the Pacific Northwest's most eclectic extreme metal acts since 2007, weaving folk instrumentation through the twin brutalities of death and black metal to conjure something genuinely strange and ancient-feeling. Their long tenure in Seattle's heavy underground spans nearly two decades, giving them a maturity and stylistic range few local contemporaries can match. The folk elements add an earthy, pagan quality that cuts against the genre's more urban and industrial impulses.
