Indianapolis grindcore outfit Venality have been trading in rapid-fire moral disgust since 2021, compressing maximum hostility into minimum runtime. Short songs, maximum impact — pure grind from the heart of the Midwest.
Venator is a heavy metal band from Linz, Austria, formed in 2015 and devoted to the classic European heavy metal tradition. Their sound channels the energy of NWOBHM and traditional metal with galloping riffs and soaring vocals.
Venator Infernalis is a black metal project from Bogotá, Colombia, active since 2008 under the command of multi-instrumentalist and vocalist Infernak. Their debut EP "VI:I" was originally recorded at War Studio in Bogotá and first published in 2011, with a remastered reissue following in 2015. The project delivers raw, Satanic black metal in the Colombian underground tradition.
Vendetta Inc. is a groove metal band from Budapest, Hungary, formed in 2014. They deliver crushing, rhythmically driven groove metal from the Hungarian capital.
Saint Petersburg's Vendmar channels Slavic paganism through black metal infused with folk elements and nature worship. Their compositions incorporate traditional acoustic passages alongside furious blast-driven sections, evoking Russia's pre-Christian spiritual heritage.
Vendôme is a black metal project from Paris, France, formed in 2020. Named after the Parisian Place Vendôme, they deliver atmospheric black metal from the French capital.
Kielce's Venefices unleashes a venomous hybrid of black and death metal, pairing tremolo-driven darkness with guttural ferocity. Their sound channels the raw aggression of Poland's prolific extreme metal scene with a particularly caustic edge.
Veneficum Ignis is a black metal band from Natal, Rio Grande do Norte, founded by the duo Khoronzon Magus and Abissus Daemoniom and rooted in themes of Luciferianism, Thelema, vampirism, and occult philosophy. Their release "Dominion of the Khaos Spheres" — a rehearsal-captured recording made available in 2014 — was picked up and pressed as a CD-R by Ukrainian label Depressive Illusions Records, cementing the band's reach into the international underground.
Porto's Veneno, whose name means "poison" in Portuguese, delivers raw, corrosive black metal steeped in the underground traditions of northern Portugal. Their caustic, stripped-down approach favors atmosphere and hostility over studio polish.
