Necrocock is a Prague-based project led by composer Tom Necrocock, whose prolific output has evolved from black/doom metal origins through atmospheric doom into experimental and post-rock territory since 1996. Working from Gummi Studio Y near Prague's center, his catalog spans film soundtracks, atmospheric compositions, and genre-defying works like the 'Jan Zizka z Trocnova' original soundtrack.
Necrocomium is a melodic death/doom metal band from Kotka, active since 2017. The band blends melodic death and doom metal from the coastal industrial city of southeastern Finland.
Necrocorpse is a German black metal project active since 2012. The project delivers raw, uncompromising black metal from the German underground.
Founded by the vocalist of Ocultan, Necrocosm channels the cold, primitive sound of early 1990s black metal through raw riffs and diseased vocals. Their album "Infinite Darkness," released in 2019, is the project's most widely circulated release, picked up by distributors and labels across Europe and Latin America.
Necrocracia is a grindcore band from Lima, Peru that formed in 2017 and channels anti-fascist politics and existentialist themes into blasts of extreme music. The band has appeared on international grindcore compilations and released a string of splits and demo recordings between 2017 and 2021, including the split with Global Horror.
Necrocracy is a death/black metal band from Glasgow, Scotland, active since 2015 with eight releases including 2024's Predestiny. Their prolific output has established them as a consistent force in Scotland's extreme metal underground.
Sosnowiec brutal death metal project launched in 2025, delivering guttural punishment from the Silesian industrial conurbation. Their extreme approach channels death metal's most punishing expressions.
Necrocult is a black/death metal band from Toulouse, France, active since 2003, co-released through Satanath Records and Ira Militias Productions. Their album For Thine Is The Kingdom delivers six tracks of expansive black death metal, culminating in the ten-minute epic Mind's Pantheon.
Formed in 1998 in Minas Gerais, Necrocult deliberately stayed out of the commercial underground, releasing a string of cassette and CD-R demos between 1999 and 2001 — including "Sadistic Armageddon" and "Spiritual Rape" — through the local Godless Records imprint. Decades later the band resurfaced with "For Thine Is The Kingdom, And The Power, And The Glory" (2015), released jointly by Satanath Records and Ira Militias Productions.
