Necrovomit 666 is the one-man project of Victor Skullcrusher, beginning in raw black metal territory with the 2023 debut Death to Mankind before rapidly expanding into black/death and grindcore on a string of releases including Witchcraft and Blood, Satanic Slaughter, and splits with acts like Amorth and Satanic Empire. The project moves with relentless prolificacy through the most bestial corners of extreme metal, steeped in blasphemy and sonic ugliness.
Proto-death metal legends whose 1987 demo Divus de Mortuus is one of the most bootlegged demos in extreme metal, directly influencing Morbid Angel.
Necrovorous is a death metal band from Athens, Greece, active since 2009, releasing their 2017 album Plains of Decay through Dark Descent Records. Their cavernous death metal has earned them a devoted following and placed them among the leading acts of the modern Greek death metal revival.
Raw Black Metal out of Texas.
Necrowar have been grinding out death-thrash metal from the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro since 2004, building a catalogue that includes the early Blood War EP and the full-length All Trajectory, released in 2019. Their music channels the war-themed aggression of classic Brazilian extreme metal, with lyrics centering on geopolitical conflict and social struggle.
NecroWerewolf is a black metal project from Privolnaya, Russia, formed in 2024. Their lycanthropic name channels bestial transformation into their black metal.
Greek black/thrash outfit split between Lamia and Ioannina, whose short-lived existence produced raw, blasphemous recordings limited to small-run demo tapes via Old Graves Productions. Their filthy fusion of first-wave black metal worship and thrash metal speed embodied the spirit of underground excess.
Necrowinds is a speed/black metal band from Kyustendil, Bulgaria, active since 2017. The band channels the raw velocity of first-wave speed metal through a black metal lens from southwestern Bulgaria.
Necrowizard is a black/death metal and grindcore project from Koblenz at the confluence of the Rhine and Moselle, formed in 2024. The project channels occult wizardry through a chaotic blend of extreme metal subgenres.
