A Pennsylvania black metal and dungeon synth project that formed in 2023, Mordengul blends the icy harshness of raw black metal with the contemplative solitude of dungeon synth to create music that feels both hostile and otherworldly. Their dual nature gives them an atmospheric depth that goes beyond straightforward aggression.

Mordeth have cultivated one of the most idiosyncratic voices in Brazilian extreme metal since the early 1990s, blending dissonant death metal with progressive structures and a persistent fascination with science fiction, futurism, and existential philosophy. Their debut "Lux In Tenebris" (1993) established the blueprint, and after a long hiatus the band returned with "The Unknown Knows" (2018) and "Hermetic Creation" (2025), both of which continued to push their sound into increasingly dense and conceptually ambitious territory.
Mordethar is a thrash metal act from Stockholm, formed in 2025. The band represents the newest generation of Swedish thrash.
A deeply underground raw black metal project from Carinthia, Austria, Mordgoat operates in near-total obscurity with minimal online documentation beyond their Bandcamp presence. The project embodies the lo-fi, primitive ethos of the raw black metal underground, making recorded artifacts available through direct digital distribution with no label backing.
