Exploring the depths of black metal, this Russian outfit from Barnaul has been refining their craft since 2025. Their sound hinges on corrosive riffing and misanthropic atmosphere, delivered with unflinching purpose.
When Kholm emerged in 2015 from Chełm, they brought with them a sound rooted in death metal, melodic death metal, and metalcore — all percussive blast-beat onslaughts and cavernous production. Low-tuned guitars and guttural vocals form the bedrock of their attack.
The Russian city of Novosibirsk serves as headquarters for this doom metal and sludge metal operation, whose arsenal includes Eyehategod-indebted misery channeled through crushing volume. Each release demonstrates a commitment to artistic evolution.
A product of the birthplace of black metal, this Trondheim-based black metal, industrial metal, and progressive metal act channels Opeth-school dynamics married to modern progressive sensibility. Active since 2012, the combination of influences yields something more interesting than any single genre label implies.
Black metal band from Thessaloniki, active since 2017 and rooted in the aggressive and atmospheric traditions of the genre. Their sound draws from the deep well of Hellenic black metal while carving its own dark path.
Part of Ukraine's fierce and unyielding metal community, this act channels black metal with a focus on tremolo-picked fury and blast-beat savagery. Formed in 2005, based in Kyiv, raw production values serve the music's unvarnished intensity.
Polish black metal act, active since 2021 delivering corrosive riffing and misanthropic atmosphere. Rooted in the country that produced Behemoth and Vader, frostbitten riffing and anti-cosmic lyrical themes define their output.
Navarre-based band from Berriozar that evolved from alternative rock/nu-metal origins in 2005 into melodic groove metal and metalcore territory. Their artistic evolution traces a path from late-'90s alternative heaviness to modern metalcore sophistication.
Formed in 2020, this Milan Black Metal outfit delivers tremolo-picked fury and blast-beat savagery. Their place within Italy's underrated but thriving metal community speaks to the depth of the region's heavy music culture.
