A Viennese black/death metal trio formed in 2013 and conceived as a deliberate trilogy of full-length albums, Mynskh released Chapter I: Obliterating Perfection to considerable underground attention after the original recordings were shelved, re-recorded, and remastered years later. The project is anchored by S.A.'s vision, enriched by cello, ambient synths, and dramatic shifts in pacing that set it apart from straightforward extreme metal.
San Diego's Myoldlovelost blends post-black metal's shimmering atmosphere with ambient undercurrents and a nostalgic emotional weight, creating soundscapes that feel as much like grief processed through texture as they do conventional black metal.
Progressive power metal band from North Haven, Connecticut, Myopia marries the soaring melodic ambition of power metal with progressive metal's structural complexity, building songs that balance technical sophistication with anthemic, memorable delivery.
Washington State's Myopic defies easy categorization by drawing equally from sludge, black, death, and doom metal, blending these traditions into a dense, multi-layered extremity that has evolved steadily since the band's formation in 2011.
Myopic Empire is a doom metal act from Southend-on-Sea in Essex, active since 2019. The band delivers glacially paced, heavy compositions from the Thames Estuary, channeling the bleak coastal atmosphere into crushing doom.
Waukegan, Illinois death metal band Myopic Void has been in the trenches since 2016, delivering straight-ahead death metal shaped by the Great Lakes region's underrated extreme metal underground.
Myosotis is a death metal act from Utrecht, active since 2017. Named after the forget-me-not flower, the band pairs botanical delicacy with crushing death metal weight.
Emerging from the remote environs of Luna Lake, Arizona in 2017, Myotis Occultus practices raw black metal with the isolation and esotericism that the name implies, stripping production to bare minimum in service of pure, malevolent atmosphere.
A black metal act from the Oslo-Nøtterøy axis, Myr emerged in 2025 with a name meaning 'bog' or 'mire' in Norwegian. The band channels the waterlogged, peaty landscape into raw, atmospheric black metal.
