Nivatakavachas is a black/death/doom metal project from Lausanne, Switzerland, whose 2021 debut 'Ascraedunum' spans three tracks over thirty-four minutes of suffocating atmospheric extremity.

Austin's Nixmoon has been quietly cultivating a raw and atmospheric black metal sound since 2014, layering howling dissonance over cavernous ambience in ways that feel both primitive and meditative. Their approach sits at the intersection of lo-fi second-wave abrasion and the more expansive post-black textures, creating a distinctly nocturnal sound that fits the isolated, strange edges of the Texas Hill Country.
Nizvergnut is a crust/death/doom metal band from Saint Petersburg, Russia, active since 2014. Their name — Russian for 'cast down' — captures the descending heaviness of their sound.
Nidafjoll is a German raw black metal project active since 2015. Named after the corpse-strewn mountain in Norse mythology, the project channels mythological bleakness through unprocessed black metal.
