Nagyatád's metal underground has produced no shortage of heavy acts, and this black metal unit is among them — wielding venomous shrieks over walls of distortion. The compositions unfold with ritualistic patience and venomous intent.
Earth Rot are a blackened death metal band from Perth, Western Australia, formed in 2014 by Tom Waterhouse and Jared Bridgeman. Rooted in old-school death metal with black metal atmosphere and a grinding groove, the band expanded to a full lineup and toured with Fleshgod Apocalypse, Vader, and Marduk. They released three full-length albums and several EPs before signing with Season of Mist for Black Tides of Obscurity (2020).
Death metal and melodic death metal project from Greece launched in 2024. They bring fresh melodic extremity to the Greek metal scene.
Berlin-based sludge/doom trio likened to a nuclear-powered icebreaker, delivering mighty riffs, groove, and psychedelic heaviness since 2013. Their six-album catalog from "As If She Were a Black Bird" through 2024's "Soar" channels influences from Melvins, Mastodon, and Crowbar through a distinctly Berlin lens.
Doom and stoner metal band from Paris, France formed in 2018. They conjure heavy, earth-shaking riffs with occult overtones from the French capital.
Portland's Earth to Ashes has been delivering traditional heavy metal since 2014 with the kind of earnest conviction the genre requires — no gimmicks, just riffs and the long shadow of the bands who invented this sound.
Crust punk and sludge metal band from Edinburgh, Scotland formed in 2024. They bring raw, heavy crust-sludge from the Scottish capital.
An Austin black metal project that surfaced in 2022, Earth Weary Twin sounds like it belongs to a colder latitude — raw, desolate, and shaped by the grimmer end of the genre's emotional spectrum.
Urbana, Illinois's Earth Witch has been channeling thick stoner metal since 2013, a landlocked Midwest band whose fuzzy, groove-heavy sound suggests something heavier than the surrounding cornfields might lead you to expect.
