Valtharim is a raw black metal project from Germany, formed in 2025. The project pursues the most stripped-down and aggressive end of the black metal spectrum.
Valtiel is an Argentine atmospheric black metal band formed in 2020, operating as an independent underground act. The band released their debut full-length album "Beyond the Black Bridge" and also appeared on the split release "...and the Silence Comes Out of This World" issued through Depressive Illusions Records.
Idrija's Valuk channels Slovenian mountain darkness into atmospheric black metal, drawing from the forested landscape surrounding this small, historic mining town. Their compositions evoke the Idrija region's industrial heritage and alpine isolation through cold, tremolo-driven intensity.
Valveline is a groove and stoner metal band from Sorocaba, São Paulo, Brazil, active since 2011. Their catalog includes releases "In The Name Of The Freaks," "Raise Your Gun," and "The Final March," delivering a hard-driving blend of riff-heavy stoner rock and groove metal.
Stockholm's Vampa channels classic heavy metal energy with a raw, no-frills approach rooted in the Swedish capital's vibrant underground scene. Their riff-driven sound recalls the direct, punchy heaviness of early 1980s metal.
Vampire is a melodic death/thrash metal band from Buttenheim/Dreuschendorf in Bavaria, Germany, formed in 2012. They combine the melodic sensibilities of Gothenburg-style death metal with the velocity and aggression of thrash.
Brzozow's Vampire Wail channels nocturnal, vampiric themes through cold, atmospheric black metal with a distinctly eastern Polish underground sensibility. Their compositions weave between mid-paced hypnotic passages and bursts of tremolo-driven aggression.
Vampiria was a melodic black/gothic metal band founded in April 1997 in Olavarría, Buenos Aires province, featuring members including vocalist Konde, guitarist and keyboardist Oswalth, and soprano keyboardist Elisa. The band recorded their albums at La Nave de Oseberg studio in Buenos Aires, releasing "Among Mortals" (2000), "Wicked Charm" (2002), and "Sanguinarian Context" (2008) before dissolving around 2009.
Nashville's Vampiric Baptism drag black metal through the machinery of industrial and gothic darkness, adding deathrock theatrics to the mix since their 2021 formation. The contrast between Music City's roots and their occult, mechanized extremity makes them one of the scene's more unsettling outliers.
