Atlanta's Moss and Clay blend atmospheric black metal with genuine folk sensibility — formed in 2022, they weave earthy, melodic elements into their blackened framework, giving their music a distinctly organic and rootsy Georgia character.
Moss Eater is a post-metal band from Reading, England, formed in 2019. They craft atmospheric, dynamic post-metal compositions from the Thames Valley.
Worcester, Massachusetts crossover thrash act Moss Folk have been shredding the line between hardcore punk and thrash metal since 2008, delivering fast, no-frills attacks with the street-level energy of the New England underground.
Moss Gate is a raw black metal band from Jyväskylä, Finland, formed in 2023. They channel primitive, lo-fi raw black metal through a distinctly Finnish underground lens.
Cincinnati stoner metal outfit Moss Mother formed in 2023, working a riff-forward style that favors thick, hazy tones and hypnotic groove — a new act in the Ohio underground leaning into the fuzzy, psychedelic end of heavy rock.
Moss upon the Skull is a progressive death metal act from Brussels, active since 2014. The band delivers technically ambitious compositions that push death metal into cerebral, atmospheric territory from the Belgian capital.
California black metal project Moss Witch emerged in 2020, channeling a raw, nature-fixated aesthetic through cold, sparse compositions — their Bandcamp handle hints at a deliberately obscure, occult-adjacent personality.
California-based Mossen have been practicing uncompromising raw black metal since 2017, stripping the genre down to its most confrontational and lo-fi extremes with a cold, primordial approach that owes little to modern production trends.
Mossfet is a groove metal act from the Utrecht province, formed in 2025. The band delivers thick, rhythmically charged compositions from central Netherlands.
