Denver's Sanguin Blodmoon are among the newest arrivals in Colorado's thriving black metal underground, formed in 2025 with a sound rooted in the raw, hostile fundamentals of the genre.

Apeldoorn's Sanguinarian merge black, gothic, and industrial metal from the Veluwe since 2022. Their vampiric name and forest-city origins channel nocturnal predation through a multi-genre approach.
Sanguinarium deal in death metal from the Provencal town of Carpentras, channeling the blood-hall themes their name describes. Formed in 2021, they bring Vaucluse brutality to the French death metal scene.
Winschoten's Sanguinary deal in brutal death metal, standard death, and grindcore from the far northeast of the Netherlands since 2019. Their blood-themed name and border-region origins channel extremity from the Dutch-German frontier.
An Austrian black metal project, Sanguinary Trance released the EP "Wine, Song and Sacrifice" in June 2018, issued on pro-manufactured tape in a first edition of fifty copies. Their sound channels the frenetic, riff-dense approach of 1990s black metal while incorporating psychedelic, dissonant passages and intricate structures that evoke Dionysian ritual.
