Neid is a grindcore band from Viterbo in Lazio, Italy, active since 2007. Their German name — meaning 'envy' — accompanies nearly two decades of grinding fury.
Neige Morte is an obscure post-black metal entity split between Lyon, France, and Gothenburg, Sweden, creating what they describe as icy and oppressive hypothermic musical blasts. Their sound shifts between ponderous, bizarre atmospheric passages and frozen riffs across releases like Bicephaale and TRINNNT.
Neighborhood in Blood is a brutal death metal band from Vicenza, Italy, active since 2014. Their name evokes suburban horror translated into punishing death metal from the Veneto.
Neila is a sludge metal and post-hardcore band from Santurtzi in the Basque Country, active since 2002. Over two decades of sludge-soaked post-hardcore from the Bilbao estuary make them a veteran of the Basque heavy music scene.
Johnstown, New York's Neist fuses death and black metal in a way that feels genuinely cold rather than performative — the upstate geography seems to seep into the riffs. Since 2017 they've been refining a sound that favors atmosphere built from aggression rather than ambience.
Neith is a death/gothic metal band from Genoa, Italy, formed in 2024. Named after the Egyptian goddess of war and weaving, they intertwine dark beauty with aggression.
Neithan is a black metal project from Berlin, active since 2022. The project adds to the German capital's deep well of black metal with a cold, unforgiving approach.
Neka is a brutal death metal band from Foggia in Puglia, Italy, formed in 2023. They bring crushing brutality from the Tavoliere plain of southeastern Italy.
Nekhen is a black/doom metal project from Italy, active since 2015. Named after the ancient Egyptian city (modern Hierakonpolis), they channel pharaonic darkness.
