Istanbul's Vox in Rama crafts atmospheric black metal with an emphasis on haunting, almost liturgical atmosphere. Their compositions draw from religious imagery and dark spirituality, creating a sound that is both intensely aggressive and eerily devotional.
Vox Mortem is a thrash metal band from Rio de Janeiro whose 2008 debut album The Worst Creature—recorded at Area 3 Studios with guitarist Rodrigo Coutinho, co-guitarist Esau Xavier, bassist and vocalist Eduardo Martins, and drummer Flávio Monteiro—established their place in the city's underground metal scene. The band draws from the aggressive thrash tradition of 1980s Brazilian acts like Sepultura and Dorsal Atlântica while incorporating hardcore and death metal elements.
Vox Mortuis is a black metal project from Minsk, Belarus, formed in 2016. The project delivers raw, uncompromising black metal steeped in darkness and misanthropy from the Belarusian underground.
Vox Populi is a thrash metal band from South Shields, England, formed in 2025. They play aggressive thrash metal from the northeast English underground.
VoXager is a progressive metal band from Düsseldorf, Germany, founded in 2006 and creating what they call "atmospheric space metal" inspired by modern metal and synthesizer pioneers. Their conceptual releases explore science fiction narratives about outer space, drawing comparisons to Arcturus and Ulver.
Voyage is a heavy metal band from Hanau, Germany, formed in 2017. They play traditional heavy metal rooted in the classic European sound.
Aurora, Colorado's Voyage of the Blastronaut have been orbiting the death metal and grindcore intersection since 2013, bringing a sardonic cosmic sensibility to music that is otherwise relentlessly brutal. The name is part science-fiction absurdism, part honest description — the music blasts with grindcore velocity while death metal's low-end gravity keeps everything from flying apart. Over more than a decade they have refined this particular combination into something distinctly their own.
Voyager formed in 2004 and have spent over two decades building a dense, slow-moving sound rooted in doom and atmospheric sludge metal with post-rock reach. Their compositions are patient and expansive, allowing weight and atmosphere to accumulate gradually rather than arriving through brute force alone. The blend of sludge heaviness and post-rock's textural sensitivity gives their work an emotional scale that the straightforwardly heavy cannot always achieve.
VoyD is a progressive/melodic death metal band from the UK, formed in 2018. They blend progressive structures with melodic death metal's harmonic richness.
