Město Šedi is a black metal band from Ostrava, Czech Republic, whose 2022 debut "Křik Němých" delivers eleven tracks of atmospheric aggression rooted in the industrial character of their hometown. The four-piece features members with deep ties to the Ostrava underground, including veterans of Terror Bombing and other local acts.
