Nofertum is a progressive metal band from Nyíregyháza in northeastern Hungary, active since 2019. They deliver technically ambitious compositions from this Szabolcs-Szatmár-Bereg county seat.
Nogard is a heavy/folk metal band from Saint-Étienne, France, blending the power of heavy metal with folk music traditions. Their sound draws on both the iron-forging industrial heritage and the pastoral landscape of the Loire region.
Cincinnati's Nogothula entered the blackened death metal space in 2022 with a sound built on the most corrosive qualities of both parent genres — the cold tremolo hostility of black metal fused with death metal's crushing low-end and blasting intensity. Ohio's underground metal scene has historically punched above its weight, and Nogothula continues that tradition by pushing the extremes of a hybrid genre rather than softening them. The project's name carries a mythic, incantatory quality that matches their dense and ritualistic approach.
Nogrod is a black metal band from Pilsen, Czech Republic, active since 2016. Named after the Dwarven city from Tolkien's legendarium, the project channels fantasy-infused black metal from Bohemia's second city.
Frigid Black Metal from Fort Worth.
