Funeral doom act from Norilsk, one of the world's most remote and polluted cities above the Arctic Circle, formed in 2019. Christmass channels the crushing despair of Arctic isolation through glacially slow funeral doom.
Melodic death metal band from Argos in the Peloponnese, Greece, formed in 2021. They craft melodic death metal from one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world.
Christopher Bowes and His Plate of Beans is the deliberately absurdist solo side project of Christopher Bowes, the keyboardist and primary songwriter of pirate metal band Alestorm and symphonic metal act Gloryhammer. Launched in 2018, the project produced a self-titled debut featuring five tracks of synth-driven electropunk novelty music, with song titles including Medical Emergency and Transcendental Bean Exploration. The project functions as a comedic outlet wholly separate from Bowes' main bands.
Sunnyside, Washington musician Christopher Vizcarra works in the intersection of neoclassical and power metal, weaving technically proficient guitar work with orchestral sensibility. His compositions lean on melodic grandeur and the kind of disciplined craft that defines the neoclassical metal tradition.
Stoner metal band from Genoa, active since 2012. Christopher Walken — cheekily named after the Hollywood actor — delivers heavy, fuzzed-out stoner grooves from the Ligurian coast.
Christophobia is a black metal band from Arapongas, Paraná, Brazil, formed in 2014 and signed to Rotthenness Records. Their sound draws on old-school black metal with themes of anti-dogmatism, satanism, and death, blending dense, melancholic passages with fast and aggressive riffing. The band released the EP "Lágrimas de Sangue" in 2018 and has continued releasing material through their Bandcamp page.
Nashville brutal death and slam outfit Christorment brings bone-crushing low-tuned riffs and guttural vocals to a city better known for country, making them a genuine outlier in the Tennessee underground. Their slam-inflected style is uncompromising in its physical heaviness.
Death-grind act from Novosibirsk, active since 2015. ChristoSadist delivers blasphemous, blast-driven extremity from the Siberian capital.
Chicago thrash band Christpuncher keeps the genre's antagonistic spirit alive with loud, fast, and caustic riff-work. They operate in the raw, no-frills end of the thrash spectrum that values aggression above technical polish.
