Heavy metal band from Mosbach, Germany, emerging in 2025. They deliver classic heavy metal energy from the Neckar-Odenwald region of Baden-Wurttemberg.
Eugene, Oregon's Cold Frozen Grave specialize in depressive black metal soaked in Pacific Northwest desolation — lo-fi, anguished, and cold, their music sounds as if it was recorded in a forest at midnight.
Black metal project from Saint Petersburg, formed in 2023. Cold Gate crafts frigid black metal from Russia's northern capital.
Oakland's Cold Grave weave black and melodic death metal into dark, riff-driven compositions that balance Scandinavian melody with American underground rawness and Bay Area intensity.
New Port Richey, Florida's Cold Grows the Season deliver straightforward, meat-and-bones death metal that draws from the state's rich history of brutality, prioritizing heaviness and aggression over complexity.
Athens, Georgia's Cold Hearth weaves melodic black metal with a melancholic Southern undercurrent, crafting frost-bitten riffs that feel as out of place — and as compelling — as black ice on Georgia blacktop.
Genre-spanning band from London, active since 2009. Cold in Berlin blend death metal, doom, gothic, and stoner influences into a dark, theatrical sound.
Hailing from the rust-belt city of Erie, Pennsylvania, Cold in the Soul trades in depressive black metal that mirrors the grey, lake-effect bleakness of their hometown — slow-burning and harrowing.
Cold Inside crafts suffocating depressive black metal that turns inward rather than outward, favoring minimalist dread and spiraling repetition over spectacle — a project defined entirely by desolation.
