Mogiła is a black metal project from Wrocław, active since 2018. The project's Polish name, meaning 'grave,' channels funerary imagery into cold, atmospheric black metal.
Named after the Celtic river deity, Mogon conjures atmospheric black metal from the flatlands of Brandenburg. Founded in 2018, the project layers nature-inspired ambience with raw Nordic-influenced aggression.
West Palm Beach's Moguera channel the oppressive weight of sludge into long-form post-metal compositions, letting their doom-laden South Florida sound breathe and collapse under its own mass. Their approach since 2016 favors atmosphere and crush over any impulse toward accessibility.
A black metal project from Stockholm, Mogyla has been crafting dark compositions since 2014. The project channels the Slavic word for 'grave' into atmospheric, burial-themed black metal.
A heavy and groove metal act from the tiny Finnish municipality of Pyhäntä, Mohare delivers thick, mid-tempo riffing from an improbably rural setting. Active since 2014, the band proves that crushing grooves can emerge from even the most remote corners of the Finnish countryside.
Fresno, California's Mohler specialize in the punishing intersection of slam and brutal death metal, where percussive breakdowns and guttural vocals create an experience that's more physical punishment than musical listening. Active since 2019, they represent the Central Valley's contribution to the slam underground.
A black metal project from Katowice in Upper Silesia, Mohortum has been crafting dark compositions since 2011. The project channels the Silesian industrial landscape into aggressive black metal.
Moira is a heavy/groove metal act from the southwestern Finnish town of Harjavalta, active since 2015. Named after the Greek concept of fate, the band delivers destiny-heavy, rhythmically charged compositions.
Miami's Moirae take their name from the Greek fates and bring a corresponding sense of inevitability to their progressive/post-metal sound, building intricate song structures that unfold with patience and purpose. Since 2010, they've been one of South Florida's more thoughtful offerings in the heavier post-rock adjacent space.
