Wrath of Crocell is a black metal solo project from Quito, Ecuador, formed in 2021 by a musician named Panos who handles all instruments. The project released its debut album The Arise of Crocell in 2021, exploring themes of cult ideology, genocide, and the corrupting extremes of human behavior through an independent, underground black metal approach.
Wrath of Logarius formed in San Francisco, California, having evolved from the project Martyr Logarius, and signed with Season of Mist ahead of their 2023 EP Necrotic Assimilation. The band describes their approach as "formless black metal," navigating between raw black metal, brutal death metal, and post-metal textures without settling into a fixed genre identity. Named after the boss character from the video game Bloodborne, the project earned early attention for its layered and eerie compositional sensibility within the Season of Mist underground division.

Richmond, Virginia black/death metal project formed in 2022, fusing the cold dissonance of black metal with the visceral heaviness of death metal in a city that has long bred uncompromising extreme music. Their Bandcamp handle — wrathbearerde — hints at a Germanic black metal influence woven into their approach.
Los Angeles heavy metal band formed in 2025, straddling the line between hard rock energy and traditional heavy metal weight in a city with a deep legacy of both. A brand-new act arriving on the LA scene with the hard-rocking, riff-driven sensibility of the genre's classic era.

San Antonio black metal act formed in 2023, channeling raw, misanthropic energy from one of Texas's largest cities into a sound built on cold tremolo riffing and ceremonial malice.

The band relaunched under the Wrathorned name in 2013 before eventually splitting up.
