Wrath of Logarius formed in San Francisco, California, having evolved from the project Martyr Logarius, and signed with Season of Mist ahead of their 2023 EP Necrotic Assimilation. The band describes their approach as "formless black metal," navigating between raw black metal, brutal death metal, and post-metal textures without settling into a fixed genre identity. Named after the boss character from the video game Bloodborne, the project earned early attention for its layered and eerie compositional sensibility within the Season of Mist underground division.
Thrash/progressive metal band from Vila Nova de Gaia, Portugal active since 2013. Wrath Sins blends thrash aggression with progressive complexity from the city facing Porto across the Douro River.
Phoenix-based melodic death metal act founded in 2020, blending the hook-driven melodies of the Gothenburg school with the blunt force of American death metal. The Arizona desert heat seems to fuel a sound that oscillates between atmospheric guitar harmonies and full-throttle brutality.
Black and death metal band from Oulu, Finland active since 2004, evolving from pure black metal into a black/death hybrid. Wrathage has spent two decades channeling the extreme cold of northern Finland into aggressive, genre-blending extreme metal.
Richmond, Virginia black/death metal project formed in 2022, fusing the cold dissonance of black metal with the visceral heaviness of death metal in a city that has long bred uncompromising extreme music. Their Bandcamp handle — wrathbearerde — hints at a Germanic black metal influence woven into their approach.
Los Angeles heavy metal band formed in 2025, straddling the line between hard rock energy and traditional heavy metal weight in a city with a deep legacy of both. A brand-new act arriving on the LA scene with the hard-rocking, riff-driven sensibility of the genre's classic era.
