A raw, one-person DSBM project that released a burst of bleak material in 2022, including the demo 'Melancolia Misantrópica' and the full-length 'Depressão, Romantismo, Misantropia e Suicídio'. The music traffics in lo-fi, suffocating production and despairing vocals characteristic of the depressive suicidal black metal tradition, with Portuguese-language titles underscoring an introspective, misanthropic worldview.
Stockholm black metal act formed in 2018, channeling atmospheric darkness and occult menace from Sweden's capital. Their sound draws from the genre's most ritualistic traditions.
Necrosorth is a death/black metal band from the Usti nad Labem and Litomerice area of northern Bohemia, active since 2011. The band channels extreme metal ferocity from the Elbe River valley of northwestern Czech Republic.
A solo black metal vehicle for multi-instrumentalist Wagner Schipanski, who handles all guitars, bass, and vocals, drawing on the raw templates of Venom, Bathory, and early Celtic Frost. The project re-emerged in 2020 with the album 'Addiction for Lust and Perversion', delivering fast, deliberately grimy black metal with an old-school sensibility that traces back to Schipanski's 'Temple of Lust' demo from 1996.
Necrosphera is a symphonic black metal band from Le Creusot, France, whose 2014 album Linguam Autem Diaboli fuses black and death metal with symphonic elements across nine tracks of blasphemous extremity. Their sound explores the darker reaches of black/death metal fusion.
