Poprad melodic power metal act formed in 2016, crafting soaring melodies from the foot of the High Tatras in northern Slovakia. Their mountainous setting provides a fitting backdrop for triumphant power metal.
Nona Decima Morta is a death/doom metal band from Genoa, Italy, active since 2020. Named after the three Roman Fates — Nona, Decima, and Morta — they weave destiny into their heavy, sorrowful compositions.
Noname is a heavy/power metal band from La Spezia, Italy, active since 2016. Despite their self-deprecating moniker, they deliver memorable melodic metal from this Ligurian naval city.
Nonamen is a progressive metal band from Kraków, Poland, active since 2012. They craft complex compositions from Poland's historic royal capital.
Nonchristian is a death metal band spanning Berlin and Rossla, active since 2006. Nearly two decades of blasphemous death metal bridge the German capital with the Harz Mountain foothills.
Nondivine is a black/death metal project from Wenden in North Rhine-Westphalia, formed in 2025. The project brings godless extremity to the Sauerland region of western Germany.
Portland, Oregon's None craft atmospheric and depressive black metal that leans heavily into the Pacific Northwest's capacity for sustained emotional darkness, layering textured guitar work over long-form compositions that resist resolution. Formed in 2020, the project operates in the tradition of DSBM acts that treat misery not as performance but as genuine artistic terrain, building music that is immersive and unsparing in equal measure. Their Bandcamp, slash-none, is a fitting handle for a project that positions itself as erasure rather than presence.
Eden, North Carolina's None Shall Rise have been developing their ambient doom and post-metal sound since 2014, drawing out vast emotional landscapes from slow-moving chord progressions and heavy atmospheric layering. The band sits at the quieter, more introspective end of doom, where volume serves texture rather than impact, and the weight comes from accumulation over time. More than a decade in, they represent one of the more patient and deliberate voices in the American doom underground.
None Valueless Art is a pagan black metal project from Bielefeld, active since 2007. The project channels pagan themes through nearly two decades of black metal from East Westphalia.
