Oakland's Dawn of Ouroboros pursue progressive post-black metal with an open-ended curiosity that sets them apart from their Bay Area peers. Since 2019, they've built a sound of cyclical intensity — introspective, dissonant, and deeply textured, much like their serpent-devouring-itself namesake.
Dawn of Relic is a melodic black/death metal band from Oulu, Finland, active since 1999. With over a quarter century of activity, they are veterans of the northern Finnish extreme metal scene.
