Minneapolis black metal project Gramarye takes its name from an archaic word for occult knowledge, and the music lives up to that etymology — layered, incantatory, and dense with atmosphere. Active since 2020, they mine the grimmer traditions of the genre without losing an otherworldly sense of space.
Out of Altoona, Pennsylvania, Grampian arrived in 2022 with a black metal sound rooted in geographic isolation and compositional austerity. There's a rugged, unadorned quality to what they do that suits the working-class landscape they come from.
