Raw black metal and ambient project from Agder, Norway, active since 2015 under the guidance of sole member Grev Frostsorg. The discography includes two self-titled releases, a 2018 demo, and a rehearsal recording with Deildegast, all rooted in the lo-fi Norwegian black metal tradition. The project's name, Latin for "Who is like God?," reflects its spiritual and adversarial thematic underpinnings.
Heavy metal band from the Hanau/Erlensee area of Germany, formed in 2017 and playing classic heavy metal rooted in the European tradition. Their name, Latin for "Where are you going?," reflects an ambitious outlook for this Hessian act.
Alternative metal and grunge-influenced project from Stockholm, Sweden, sharing its name with the legendary Bathory founder but pursuing a decidedly different sonic path. Formed in 2021, the project channels heavy, atmospheric sounds through a lens of alternative metal rather than the black metal legacy its name might suggest.
Melodic death metal band from Denmark, active since 2012 and crafting hook-laden extreme metal driven by Scandinavian melodeath traditions. Their Danish roots place them in the same fertile musical landscape that produced some of the genre's most influential acts.
Thrash metal and crossover band from Saint Petersburg, Russia, active since 1998, making them one of the longest-running acts in this collection. Their blend of thrash metal aggression with crossover punk energy reflects the raw, high-velocity approach that has sustained the genre in Russia's underground scene for over two decades.
Dutch black metal project formed in 2021, releasing a three-track instrumental demo in February of that year that blends atmospheric black metal and death metal textures. The compositions, identified only by Roman numerals, are entirely instrumental and lean into a raw, DIY approach with atmospheric ambient passages woven through extreme metal.
