Immortal Death were a black metal band from Vorchdorf, Upper Austria, active in the early 2000s before evolving and relocating through name changes. The project operated from 2001 onward and represents an early strand of Austrian underground black metal that fed into subsequent extreme metal activity in the region.

Immortal Flame is a raw black metal project from Sala, Sweden, active since 2026 and dealing in lo-fi, primitive black metal hostility stripped to its most essential and aggressive core. The project embraces the rawest traditions of the genre.

Savage Death Metal from Houston.
