Black metal project from Lisbon, formed in 2022. Chavasckall delivers raw black metal from the Portuguese capital.
Genre-crossing extreme metal band from Leipzig, Germany, formed in 2016. Chaver blend black metal, crust punk, death metal, and groove metal into a fierce and unpredictable assault.
Black metal band from Durcal in Granada province, Spain, formed in 2017. Named after the holy creatures of the Hebrew Merkabah, they channel spiritual darkness through black metal from the Andalusian Sierra Nevada.
Dearborn's Chaz Hook blends progressive metal's compositional ambition with groove and death metal's heavier instincts, reflecting Michigan's history of producing technically serious musicians willing to move between extremes. Their work rewards listeners with an ear for both complexity and outright heaviness.
Black metal band from Mons, Belgium, active since 2013. They forge cold, atmospheric black metal from the Walloon industrial heartland, drawing on the genre's European traditions.
Northern California's Cheap Evil plays heavy-thrash with a rough, basement-forged energy that reflects Arcata's distance from the polished commercial metal scenes further south. Their material values speed, grit, and a defiant DIY spirit.
Dayton's Cheap Gas smashes black metal, crust punk, and grindcore into a filthy, high-speed collision that prioritizes ferocity and brevity above all else. Their sound is as blunt and unrefined as the industrial Midwestern city they come from.
Doom-stoner band from Novi Sad, Serbia's second-largest city, formed in 2017. Cheap Moonshine delivers lumbering, fuzz-laden grooves from the Vojvodina capital.
Dallas sludge metal outfit Cheap Pipe drags down-tuned riffs through thick, tar-coated grooves with the oppressive patience that defines the genre's southern American strain. Their sound is heavy in the way that Texas heat is heavy — inescapable and grinding.
