When Evilfeast emerged in 2005 from Otwock, they brought with them a sound rooted in atmospheric black metal and black metal — all raw, lo-fi aggression channeled through kvlt aesthetics. Lo-fi authenticity lends their recordings a genuinely oppressive character.
Krasnyy Chikoy-based black metal and death metal act, active since 2007 delivering venomous shrieks over walls of distortion. Rooted in one of Eastern Europe's most extreme metal communities, the compositions unfold with ritualistic patience and venomous intent.

Doom and sludge metal band from Barcelona, Spain formed in 2012, with releases including Cabeza de Vaca and a contribution to October Dust, a Spanish tribute to Peter Steele. Their heavy, crushing sound pays homage to the titans of doom.
Decidedly heavy and deliberately confrontational, this death metal and thrash metal act from Arzamas traffics in guttural vocals and churning downtuned riffs. Since 2016, they've built a catalog that reflects Russia's sprawling, uncompromising metal landscape.
Pasadena, California's Evilization has been shredding through the LA area thrash underground since 2016, carving out space in a region that birthed some of the genre's most influential acts. Their name is equal parts threat and diagnosis — a band that treats thrash metal not as nostalgia but as ongoing, necessary aggression.
