Black metal project from the small Estonian town of Kilingi-Nomme, active since 2016 and channeling the isolation and darkness of rural Estonia. Their sound reflects the cold, forested landscapes of the Baltic region through austere black metal.
Urdza is a heavy and thrash metal band from São Paulo, formed in 2017 by brothers Heitor Prado (vocals) and Hugo do Prado (guitar) alongside Gustavo Correa (guitar), Diego Rodrigues (bass), and Igor Mota (drums). Their debut album "A War with Myself" (2024), produced by Thiago Bianchi, is a 10-track record whose lyrical concept draws on the universe of the Magic: The Gathering card game.
Epic and atmospheric black metal project with dungeon synth elements from Norway, active since 2021. Their dual approach bridges the grandeur of epic black metal with the medieval fantasy soundscapes of dungeon synth.
Philadelphia's Urethra Driller emerged in 2021 playing brutal death metal and goregrind with all the tasteful restraint their name suggests — which is to say, none. Punishingly loud, deliberately offensive, and technically precise in their ugliness.
Thrash and power metal band from Leicester, England, combining high-speed aggression with a healthy dose of humor reflected in their irreverent name. Their dual-genre approach balances thrash metal's intensity with power metal's epic qualities.
San Francisco's Urethral specialize in the slam death metal subgenre, building their sound around bone-crushing breakdowns and guttural extremity since 2013. Their Bay Area roots give them a certain grim urban edge that distinguishes them from their Midwest and Southeast counterparts.

Anti-cosmic black metal project from Germany with a strong devotion to the Thursian path, channeling esoteric chaos since 2018. Their releases including Swartaz Dagana, Thurisablotha, and Wraiþaz use Old Norse-inspired titles to frame their occult black metal vision.
Hamburg-based German black metal trio featuring members Feindhammer, Vulpest, and To Qhrion, active since 2015. Their releases Richtnacht and a split with Henbane titled Mortar/Blutkrone deliver uncompromising black metal rooted in the German underground.
