Moscow's Satanhedge pair sludge and stoner metal from the Russian capital since 2015. Their name combining Satan with a garden boundary channels infernal domesticity into compositions of thick, fuzz-laden heaviness.
Los Angeles's Satani Infernalis have operated in the raw black metal underground since 2016, a project that deliberately resists the city's association with polished production in favor of primitive, corroded sound design. Their music treats lo-fi aesthetics as an ideological position — raw black metal as it was always meant to be heard, unmediated and contemptuous of commercial refinement.
