Black metal project from Santiago, Chile, whose name combines the Greek roots for "crowd" and "aversion" as a statement against collective conformity. The duo of P.B. and K. have released three records — Vendémiaire (2021), Thermidor (2022), and ...In Terrorem (2023) — crafting philosophically charged black metal shaped by Nietzschean and counter-Enlightenment themes.
New York sludge metal band formed in 2021, building dense, feedback-laden walls of sound rooted in the slow, oppressive heaviness central to the sludge tradition.
