Symphonic metal band from Salerno, Italy formed in 2018. Winterdream crafts cinematic symphonic metal from the Amalfi Coast region of Campania.
Gothic, doom, and death metal band from Pont-à-Mousson, France active since 2014. Wintereve blends the atmospheric darkness of gothic metal with doom's crushing weight and death metal's guttural extremity from the Lorraine region.
Bremerton, Washington's Winterfallen formed in 2016 fusing melodic death metal's intricate, harmony-driven approach with black metal's cold aggression — a combination that suits the grim, rain-soaked personality of Puget Sound. They've built a sound that balances technical melodic ambition against a rawer, darker atmospheric undercurrent.
Morgantown, West Virginia's Winterfell occupy the rawest, most primitive end of the black metal spectrum — raw black metal laced with ambient elements, formed in 2019 in the isolation of Appalachian West Virginia. The region's wild, forested landscape and cultural remove from metal's mainstream centers makes it a natural home for music this stripped and unfiltered.
Heavy metal band from Manchester, England active since 2014. Winterfire delivers classic heavy metal with a wintry intensity from one of England's greatest music cities.
Epic doom and folk metal band from Kazan, Russia active since 2017. Winterfun blends the weight of epic doom with folk melodies from the Tatar capital at the confluence of the Volga and Kazanka rivers.
Atmospheric black metal band from Manchester, England established in 2006 and signed to Napalm Records. With nine albums to their name including the upcoming The Unyielding Season, Winterfylleth has become one of the UK's most acclaimed black metal acts, channeling English heritage and landscape through expansive atmospheric compositions.
Wintergang was a depressive black metal and ambient project from Mérida, Yucatán, formed in January 2013 by the duo Belial and Tánatos. The project released its GRIS demo in 2014, a three-track recording built on bleak, lo-fi black metal with ambient undertones and themes of nihilism, depression, and nature. Wintergang has since split up and appeared on the 2014 Depressive Visions compilation The Way of Melancholy.
Raw atmospheric black metal project from Bremen, Germany formed in 2022. Wintergrau translates to "winter grey," capturing the cold, bleak essence of northern German winters through atmospheric black metal with a raw edge.
