Endless War was a black metal band from Santo André, São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2000 and active until disbanding in 2008. The band released material through Evil Horde Records and had planned a second full-length titled "Hammer Nation" before splitting up.
Black metal band from Stara Pazova in Vojvodina, Serbia active since 2018. Their sound channels raw black metal from the Pannonian plains north of Belgrade.
Sacramento stoner/doom act whose name is either deeply self-deprecating or perfectly evocative of the hazy, half-lidded tempos they've been delivering since 2017. Sun-baked California riffs slow-cooked until they collapse under their own weight.
Denver death metal outfit that has stalked the Mile High underground since 2011, building a reputation on meat-and-bone riffing with none of the genre's more cerebral pretensions. Colorado's high-altitude heaviness in full effect.
Part of Ukraine's fierce and unyielding metal community, this act channels black metal, death metal, and doom metal with a focus on icy tremolo lines cascading over relentless percussion. Formed in 2010, based in Kyiv, their sound honors the second wave while forging its own path.
Thrash/death metal act from Balingen in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, delivering relentless, high-speed extremity since 2018. Their gaming-inspired name suggests a final, ultimate level of aggressive intensity.
Black metal project from the Czech Republic whose German name, meaning "finality" or "finiteness," reflects a philosophical engagement with mortality and impermanence since 2013. Their atmospheric approach channels existential themes through the lens of raw black metal.
Boulder folk/melodic death metal band weaving acoustic textures and Scandinavian-influenced melodic death riffing into something distinctly tied to Colorado's mountain landscape since 2016. The folk elements feel organic rather than decorative.
Detroit black metal act whose name references the last surviving member of a species — an apt metaphor for the isolation and extinction-level bleakness that defines their sound since 2014. Motor City grime filtered through black metal's most despairing impulses.
