Void Seeker is a power metal band from Turin, Italy, formed in 2022. They play anthemic power metal from the Piedmontese capital.
Void Sinker is a sludge/drone/doom metal band from Salerno, Italy, formed in 2023. They deliver crushing, glacially paced doom with drone and sludge elements.
Void Tendril is a doom/black metal band from the UK, formed in 2017. They combine doom's oppressive weight with black metal's cold intensity.
Owensboro, Kentucky's Void Terror have been playing death/black metal since 2017, bringing the Southern underground's particular intensity to a genre that already runs hot. Kentucky isn't a city anyone associates with extreme metal, which makes Void Terror's dedication all the more interesting — they're cultivating something brutal in a place where it has to be built from scratch. Their sound lives at the intersection of death metal's physicality and black metal's corrosive spiritual dimension.
Void Titan is a death/doom metal band from Bristol, England, formed in 2018. They deliver crushing, cavernous death/doom from the West Country.
Void Tripper is a stoner/doom/sludge metal quartet from Fortaleza, Ceará, formed by four friends with a shared passion for Black Sabbath and the heavy sounds of Electric Wizard, Sleep, and the Melvins. The band released the fuzz-soaked album Sabbath Worshipping Doom in 2019 and the full-length Dopefiend in 2021, followed by the 2024 release SLUDGEHAMMER. Members Mário Fonteles and Anastácio Júnior handle guitar and vocals, with Jonatas Monte on bass and Kevin Cavalcante on drums.
Los Angeles's Void Vator, formed in 2017, play heavy metal in the traditional sense — melodic, hook-driven, and built around the timeless appeal of a well-constructed riff. In a city full of metal acts reaching for the extreme, they stand out for their commitment to classic heavy metal songwriting values: strong hooks, memorable leads, and a sound that wears its influences proudly. They're a straight-ahead heavy metal band in the best possible way.
Doom/death collective formed during the pandemic from ex-members of Azoth, Shitstorm, and Drainbow. Signed to Everlasting Spew Records.
Ramona, California's VoidCeremony are one of the more distinctive progressive death metal bands working in the US today, having built a devoted following since 2014 through music that balances genuine technical accomplishment with an old-school death metal spirit. Their approach to progressive death metal isn't about sterile complexity — it's about ideas, the sense that each riff and compositional turn is serving a larger musical argument. Critically recognized within the underground, they represent the genre at a high level.
Austin's Voided formed in 2022 playing post-black metal, a style that takes the genre's foundational harshness and opens it outward — longer structures, more dynamic range, and an emotional register that pushes beyond pure aggression. Austin's music scene has an adventurous streak even in its metal corner, and Voided reflect that spirit, building music with room to breathe inside the intensity. Their Bandcamp handle "voided666" balances the post-metal expansiveness with a knowing nod to black metal's rawer roots.
Voidemolition is a melodic death metal band from Remscheid, Germany, formed in 2018. They play melodic death metal featuring harmonized guitar leads and dynamic contrasts between clean and harsh vocals.
Voiden is a thrash/black/death metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, whose H.P. Lovecraft-inspired lyrical themes run through their recorded output. The band released the EP Beyond Antares in October 2015, a four-track slab featuring tracks including "Crawling Chaos" and "Elder Blood."
Voidescent is a black metal project from Seville, Spain, formed in 2018. They deliver atmospheric black metal from the Andalusian underground.
Voidfallen is a melodic death metal band from Helsinki, Finland, formed in 2019 as a two-person project between Tommi and Henri, now released through Noble Demon. Their discography — from 2021's "The Atlas of Spiritual Apocalypse" through 2025's "The Rituals of Resilience" — blends symphonic elements with melodic death metal in compositions praised for their technical mastery.
Columbus, Ohio's Voidgazer formed in 2024, working in heavy metal and hard rock territory — a band grounded in traditional heavy metal songwriting rather than extreme subgenres, focused on building songs that carry actual weight without necessarily reaching for maximum brutality. Columbus has a long tradition of no-nonsense Midwestern rock and metal, and Voidgazer fit that lineage. A young band finding their footing in familiar but well-loved territory.
