Moortrieder is a one-man black metal project from Hessia, Germany, formed in 2021, drawing inspiration from Hessian legends and tales of long-forgotten times. The project's debut full-length Towards The Hills Of Triumph was released in 2023 via Mortal Rite Records, blending medieval themes with raw black metal.
Ayer, Massachusetts quartet Moosataur have been crafting psychedelic doom and stoner metal since 2013, layering lysergic haze over slow, crushing riffwork in a style that's as trance-inducing as it is heavy.
Out of Gulfport, Mississippi, Moose have been serving up Southern-flavored sludge metal since 2017 — grinding slow and heavy with the humidity-soaked aggression you'd expect from the Gulf Coast.
Moose Cult is a heavy and doom metal act from London, formed in 2023 with a sound that blends crushing doom weight with traditional heavy metal hooks. The band's animal-worshipping name hints at a playful approach within an otherwise heavy framework.
San Francisco's Moosifer came together in 2024 playing heavy and thrash metal, bringing the Bay Area's storied thrash legacy into conversation with classic heavy metal directness and a healthy dose of self-aware attitude.
Mor is a hardcore (early); death/doom metal (later) band from Liberec, Czech Republic, formed in 2018. They craft crushing doom-death compositions steeped in oppressive heaviness.
Mora Prokaza is an experimental black metal duo from Minsk, Belarus, signed to Season of Mist, whose sound fuses avant-garde black metal with trap and electronic elements rooted in Belarusian artistic traditions. Comprising Farmakon on vocals and composition and Hatestorm on drums, their 2020 debut 'By Chance' established their self-described 'blackened trap' approach as a genuinely boundary-pushing hybrid of extremity and modern production.
Operating out of Copenhagen since 2019, Morads delivers death metal with a raw, unpolished edge that nods to the city's growing underground extreme music community. The band prioritizes visceral impact over technical complexity.
