Death metal band from Lille, France, formed in 2021 and rooted in old-school death metal traditions. Despite the death metal classification on Metal Archives, their sound incorporates punk and garage rock energy into their heavy framework.
On the warpath since 1998, this Renate (Monza and Brianza) Death Metal and Thrash Metal outfit delivers labyrinthine song structures built on chromatic riff mazes. Their place within Italy's underrated but thriving metal community speaks to the depth of the region's heavy music culture.
When Krieghorn emerged in 2020 from Syzran, they brought with them a sound rooted in black metal — all frigid atmospherics and razor-wire guitar tone. Blast beats and shrieked vocals create an impenetrable wall of darkness.
Raw black metal duo from Normandy, France, self-described as "War Machine Tyrants," with members Olarik and M22 Lokust handling all instruments. Their 2020 album Seasons of Blood & Fire, mastered by Travis Nordahl and released on Bestial Rape Records, draws heavily on WWI imagery and historical warfare themes.
Kriegskanone is a death metal band from Manizales, Caldas, Colombia, formed in 2017 and focused on war-themed material. The band released the EP "Tiempos de gloria" in 2017, with members who also play in local acts including Mauser 98 and Militant.
When Kriegsmann emerged in 2018 out of Poland, they brought with them a sound rooted in crust punk, death metal, and thrash metal — all percussive blast-beat onslaughts and cavernous production. Low-tuned guitars and guttural vocals form the bedrock of their attack.
Black metal band from Krakow, active since 2004 and one of Poland's most respected and longest-running black metal projects. Their two-decade catalog represents a deeply committed exploration of black metal's most uncompromising territories.
Black metal project from Cheltenham, active since 2015 and exploring the darker philosophical currents within the genre. Their sound merges atmospheric black metal with a cerebral, contemplative approach to darkness.
