Siebenbürgen formed in Stockholm, Sweden in 1994, blending melodic black metal with gothic atmospherics and themes drawn from vampirism, darkness, and Nordic folklore. The band secured a deal with Napalm Records on the strength of their 1996 demo Ungentum Pharelis, leading to their debut album Loreia in 1997. Their third album Delictum marked a shift to English-language lyrics and a more pronounced gothic sensibility, a direction they continued through Darker Designs & Images (2005) and Revelation VI (2008). Active across two periods from 1994 to 2009, they remain a notable entry in the Scandinavian gothic-black metal tradition.

Kansas City raw black metal and punk hybrid born in 2023, stripping the genre down to its most abrasive and primitive elements with the kind of volatile energy that owes as much to hardcore as to black metal.
New Jersey death metal act formed in 2016, known for a prolific output of cavernous, riff-dense material that draws from the most primitive and war-obsessed currents of the genre.
Saint Petersburg's Siege Golem practice raw black metal from the cultural capital since 2021. Their name of animated-stone warfare channels the constructedness of magical defenders into lo-fi compositions.

Death/grind band from Fortaleza, Ceará, formed in 1997 by Bruno Gabai (vocals, guitar, drums) and George Frizzo (bass). The duo has released six records across nearly three decades, including Subversive By Nature (2003) on Encore Records in Brazil — later picked up by Karmageddon Media in Europe and Candlelight Records in the US — Deathmocracy (2009), Animalism (2013), and Medieval Trauma (2022), a split with Guro.
Siege of Power is an international death/thrash metal supergroup formed in the Netherlands in 2017, featuring Chris Reifert (Autopsy) on vocals, Paul Baayens (Asphyx) on guitar, Theo van Eekelen (ex-Hail of Bullets) on bass, and Bob Bagchus (ex-Asphyx) on drums. The band's debut album Warning Blast, released in 2018 on Metal Blade Records, delivered twenty tracks of raw, uncompromising death-thrash with doom and punk underpinnings. Their follow-up This Is Tomorrow (2023) continued the band's relentless approach, drawing on the collective pedigree of its members to produce some of the most authoritative extreme metal of the era.
