Wilmington, North Carolina's Children of the Reptile plays heavy metal with a rawness that keeps one foot in the classic era while the other stands firmly in the underground. Their approach is unpretentious and guitar-driven, built on hooks and riff-craft.
Blackened death metal act originally from Vilnius, Lithuania, formed in 2021. Children of the Void delivers dark, nihilistic extreme metal from the Baltic region.
Phoenix's Children of Wrath layers orchestral symphonic arrangements over a base of black and death metal extremity, creating a grand and aggressive sound that aims for epic scope. The Arizona desert heat meets cold Northern European influences in their dense compositions.
Childslave is a Chilean black metal solo project that describes its output as "Miserable Black Metal," drawing on poetry by Charles Baudelaire for song titles and lyrical themes. Their self-titled debut tape, originally pressed in a limited edition of 50 copies, was released in June 2024 and spans twelve tracks across roughly 44 minutes of bleak, lo-fi black metal.
Black doom act from Lecco, Lombardy, formed in 2020. Chiliarch of Seth merges occult black metal with crushing doom pacing.
Progressive metal band from Hanover, Germany, formed in 2020. They craft intricate, dynamic compositions with technical sophistication from the Lower Saxon capital.
Rochester, New York's Chillum sinks deep into the swampy intersection of sludge and stoner metal, delivering slow, fuzz-drenched riffs designed to crush. Their music is immersive and heavy, owing debts to both the Southern sludge tradition and psychedelic smoke-worship.
Metalcore band from Neeroeteren, Belgium, active since 2012. They combine heavy breakdowns with melodic passages, representing the metalcore scene from Belgium's Limburg province near the Dutch border.
Chimaera was a progressive metal band from Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The band is documented on Encyclopaedia Metallum and has since split up, leaving behind a small catalog of progressive metal material released during their active years.
