Morgoroth is a black metal project from Como in Lombardy, active since 2020. The Tolkien-derived name signals the project's commitment to dark, fantasy-inflected black metal from the Italian lake district.
Formed in Meschede, Germany in 1987, Morgoth were one of the country's earliest and most significant death metal bands, recording the influential EPs Resurrection Absurd (1989) and The Eternal Fall (1990) before their debut full-length Cursed (1991) sold over 100,000 copies. Subsequent albums saw the band incorporate industrial elements, with Odium (1993) and Feel Sorry for the Fanatic (1996) reflecting a shift away from death metal. After breaking up in 1998 and reforming in 2010, they released the comeback album Ungod (2015) before ultimately disbanding again in 2020.
A raw black metal project from Catania in Sicily, Morgott emerged in 2024 with a stripped-down, lo-fi approach. The project channels Etna's volcanic fury into primitive black metal aggression.
A black metal project from Saint Petersburg, Morgrath formed in 2025. The project delivers cold, atmospheric black metal from Russia's northern capital.
Morgreim is a epic/atmospheric black metal band from Poland, formed in 2022. They craft expansive, atmospheric black metal compositions with textural depth.
A death/groove metal act from Bergen, Morgrim has been delivering rhythmically charged aggression since 2007. The band channels the fjord city's musical heritage into heavy, groove-laden death metal.
Morgroth is a brutal death metal project from Mogilev, Belarus, formed in 2020 that delivers punishing, guttural extremity in the tradition of Eastern European death metal. Their approach prioritizes relentless blast beats, guttural vocals, and technically demanding riffwork.
Morgu is a six-piece collective from Tirana, Albania, assembled from veterans of the country's rock and metal scene. Their sound threads through progressive doom, post-metal expansiveness, and blackened atmosphere, prioritizing cinematic intensity and emotional storytelling over straightforward song structures. Their 2024 release 'The Discipline of Suffering' and the 2025 follow-up 'Oceangrave' establish them as one of Albania's most ambitious extreme metal acts.
Morgue is a black metal band from Quilpué in Chile's Quinta Región, active within the regional underground scene alongside bands such as Kalkü and Beelzebuth. The band contributed two tracks, "Olvidado Resplandor" and "Arcano XIII", to the 2023 five-band split En el Caos de la Oscuridad, recorded at CIRAR Metal Records in Peñablanca.
