Møch is a sludge, southern metal, and punk band from Paris, France, active since 2013. They fuse crushing sludge with southern metal groove and punk energy.
Møl is a post-black metal and shoegaze band from Aarhus, Denmark, formed in 2015, described as a crushing void. Their albums Jord, Diorama, and Dreamcrush blend wall-of-sound post-black metal with shimmering shoegaze textures, establishing them as a leading force in the genre.
A stoner-sludge band from Liège, Belgium, self-described as a 'stoner/sludge band from Liege' delivering heart-jolting doom riffs and dark melodic urgency. Their two EPs — 'EP #1' and 'Hate from the Bong (EP #2)' — establish a compact and dense sound within the Wallonian heavy underground.
Oregon's Møllehøj have cultivated an atmospheric black metal sound since 2012, taking their name from a Danish term and drawing on the genre's ambient, landscape-evoking qualities. The project is among the longer-running acts in the Pacific Northwest's underground black metal community.
Mørdeth is a raw black metal band from Thuringia, Germany, with roots stretching back to 1992. As one of the longer-running German raw black metal projects, they deliver lo-fi, uncompromising black metal from the heart of eastern Germany.
Møregloed is a atmospheric black/doom metal band from Hellevoetsluis, the Netherlands, formed in 2021. They craft expansive, atmospheric black metal compositions with textural depth.
Drawing from the landscape and isolation of the Ozarks, Mørk Hest craft atmospheric black metal that feels rooted in the dense, ancient terrain of the interior United States since 2018. The Norwegian-inflected name — meaning dark horse — suits the project's desolate and brooding aesthetic.
