Nigra Eucharistia is a raw black metal project from San Cristobal de la Laguna on the island of Tenerife, active since 2006. Two decades of blasphemous black metal from the Canary Islands make the project one of Spain's most geographically remote extreme acts.
Naples black metal act formed in 2014, whose Latin name translates to 'Black Death,' channeling extreme darkness from southern Italy. Their sound carries the intensity of Campania's underground metal scene.
Nigrae Lunam is a doom/death duo composed of vocalist Paulo Brasil and multi-instrumentalist Kastiphas, whose music explores occult feminine mythology — particularly the figure of Lilith — through slow, suffocating riffs and bleak atmospherics. Their 2020 debut album "Lilith Regnator Est" was recognized by metal press as one of the standout Brazilian extreme metal releases of that year.
Athenian black metal supergroup featuring members of Ravencult, Embrace of Thorns, and Dodsferd, whose albums 'Facets of Death' and 'Flesh Torn - Spirit Pierced' channel Celtic Frost, Mayhem, and Deathspell Omega through a forward-thinking lens. Signed to Transcending Obscurity Records, their experienced lineup delivers a sophisticated yet ferocious take on extreme metal.
Nigredo is a black metal band from Santiago, Chile, whose lyrical and aesthetic themes center on the alchemical concept of putrefaction and a cult of death — nigredo being the Latin term for blackness and the first stage of alchemical transformation. The band released a demo in 2018 before issuing the full-length "Grimoire Timeless Death" in April 2021 through German label Schattenkult Produktionen as a limited run of 300 CDs.

Drawing from occultism and old-school death metal traditions, the band released the EP Hidden Rituals through Burning Coffin Records in 2021, followed by the full-length Vortex of Existence in 2023, both rooted in a sound likened to Pestilence, Entombed, and Excoriate.
