Melodic death metal/metalcore band from Saint Petersburg, Russia formed in 2020. Wrymind blends Scandinavian-style melodic death metal with modern metalcore from Russia's northern capital.
Four-piece progressive metalcore and thrash outfit from Bruges, Belgium drawing from Lamb of God, Meshuggah, and Testament. Their 2024 debut Interromezzo I combines modern metal riffing with thrashy influences, time-signature changes, dissonance, and ferocious vocals across six tracks.
Black/speed metal band from Brașov, Romania emerging in 2024. Wräthhammer merges black metal darkness with speed metal's velocity from the medieval Transylvanian city at the foot of the Carpathians.
Doom and sludge metal band from Yorkshire, England emerging in 2025. Named after the Old English word for a wild man of the woods, Wudwas channels primal heaviness through crushing doom and sludge.
Pagan/black metal band from Sundsvall, Sweden formed in 2019. Wulafir channels Norse pagan themes through atmospheric black metal from the Norrland coast.
Hard rock/heavy metal band from Nässjö, Sweden active since 2013. Wulcan delivers volcanic energy through classic hard rock and heavy metal from the Småland highlands.
A black metal project with no listed city, Wuldorgast emerged in 2024 with a name that evokes Old English or proto-Germanic mysticism — a fitting frame for black metal rooted in ancient, unknowable imagery. Their debut material places them in the US underground's more obscurantist corner.
Pagan black metal project from Lower Saxony, Germany active since 2018. Wuldur channels the ancient Saxon landscapes and pre-Christian spirituality of northern Germany into atmospheric pagan black metal.
NWOBHM-style heavy metal band from Telford, England formed in 2018. Wulf carries the flame of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal from the Shropshire town.
Salt Lake City's Wulf Blitzer have been running black metal, death metal, and hardcore through the same engine since 2015, producing something that hits harder and moves faster than any one of those genres alone. Utah's underground scene is small but fierce, and Wulf Blitzer embody that scrappy, crossover energy.
A Florida black metal project active since 2019, Wulf Chant operates without a listed city — deliberately anonymous in the way that suits the more solitary, ritualistic end of the genre. Their sound leans into the raw, primitive side of American black metal, unconcerned with accessibility or polish.
Black metal band from Aarhus, Denmark formed in 2019. Wulfaz channels the raw spirit of Scandinavian black metal through cold, aggressive compositions from the Danish mainland.
Thrash metal band from Coburg, Germany active since 2014. Wulfpack delivers relentless thrash from the Franconian border region with an emphasis on speed and aggression.
Project of Imprecation vocalist David Herrera. Black/death/thrash/punk hybrid. Released a split with Hexella on Goat Throne Records.
Black metal band from Mora, Sweden active since 2016. Wulkanaz channels the deep forests and dark folklore of Dalarna through raw, atmospheric black metal from the heart of Sweden.
