Noxiferis is a gothic/progressive metal band from the Bielsko-Biała area, Poland, formed in 2022. They weave dark atmospheric elements with progressive complexity.
Furious Thrash Metal from Houston.
San Diego's Noxious Anathema have been refining their black/death metal attack since 2014, merging the scorched-earth atmosphere of black metal with death metal's rhythmic crush into something that feels genuinely nasty. Southern California is not always the first region associated with this kind of underground extremity, which makes their persistent commitment to the uglier end of the spectrum all the more notable.
Richmond, Virginia's Noxious Cloud arrived in 2021 fusing death metal's rot and brutality with crust punk's d-beat propulsion and anarchic politics — a combination that suits Richmond's historically fierce underground scene. The band rides the intersection of these two traditions with conviction, favoring speed, grime, and a DIY ethos that keeps the music visceral and unpolished in the best sense.
Noxious Light is a British black metal project formed in 2026. The band channels black metal intensity from the UK underground.
Athenian black metal project launched in 2023, adding to the Greek capital's seemingly inexhaustible wellspring of extreme metal. Their dark sonic vision carries the intensity associated with the modern Hellenic underground.
Noyade is a thrash metal and metalcore band from Copenhagen, active since 2013. The band's French name meaning 'drowning' drives their suffocating blend of thrash and metalcore from the Danish capital.
