A product of Russia's vast and intense metal underground, this Tula-based atmospheric black metal and black metal act channels frigid atmospherics and razor-wire guitar tone. Active since 2021, blast beats and shrieked vocals create an impenetrable wall of darkness.
En Fandens Ridder was a symphonic and avant-garde black metal band from Cascavel, Paraná, Brazil, formed in 2011. The band released their debut demo Forest of Thy Light in July 2011, a six-track recording blending black metal with experimental and atmospheric elements before splitting up.
En la Niebla is a stoner/doom metal power trio from Córdoba province, Argentina, formed in 2021 by guitarist and vocalist Mariano Sacchi, bassist Matias Ghirlanda, and drummer Elo Ciaccio. The band released their debut album, El Limbo de los Callados, on December 13, 2022, a set of fuzz-heavy, low-tuned tracks sung in Spanish with occult and esoteric themes.
Aurora, Illinois outfit En Masse arrived in 2020 with a collision of thrash, death metal, and hardcore that hits with the frantic urgency of a pit catching fire mid-set.

Enabler is a Milwaukee, Wisconsin metallic hardcore band formed in 2009, led by guitarist and songwriter Jeff Lohrber. The band fuses thrash, death metal, punk, and hardcore into a confrontational, emotionally raw sound that earned them placement on Southern Lord Records for their breakthrough album All Hail the Void (2012). A second full-length, La Fin Absolue Du Monde (2014), followed on Creator Destructor/Earsplit Compound, with the band releasing material across multiple labels and formats.
Allentown's Enamored thread progressive ambition through black metal's cold framework, building something nuanced and searching that the Pennsylvania underground rarely produces.
Albany's Enantiodrome take their name from a Jungian concept of reversal, and their progressive death metal follows suit — complex, contradictory, and deliberately unsettled since 2016.
Svelvik, Norway — thrash metal of the most uncompromising kind. Active since 2013, they deal in mosh-pit-inducing aggression with tightly wound precision. The tempo rarely drops below neck-breaking speed.
