San Antonio black metal act formed in 2023, channeling raw, misanthropic energy from one of Texas's largest cities into a sound built on cold tremolo riffing and ceremonial malice. A newer entry into the Texas extreme underground, operating out of a city with a surprisingly fierce black metal contingent.
Death/thrash metal band from Cazorla, Spain active since 2018. Wrathnoise channels fury and aggression through death/thrash metal from the mountain town in Jaén province.
Black/death metal band from Kocaeli, Turkey formed in 2020. Wrathogoat delivers a ferocious blend of black and death metal from the industrial city on the Sea of Marmara.
Wrathorned was a black metal band from Valença, Brazil that traced its roots to a prior incarnation active in the 2000s, which released the demo "Pandemonical World of Total Disgrace" (2008) and the full-length "Hell Master," both documented on Metal Archives. The band relaunched under the Wrathorned name in 2013 before eventually splitting up.
Death metal band from Laitila, Finland active since 2013. Wrathrone delivers punishing death metal from the small town in the Vakka-Suomi region of southwestern Finland.
Devastating Death Metal out of Texas.
Providence, Rhode Island death metal and grindcore outfit active since 2016, delivering short, savage bursts of extreme noise from a New England city with a fertile underground scene. Their sound leans into grindcore's economy of destruction — fast, ugly, and mercilessly brief.
Los Angeles avant-garde black metal duo formed in 2017, notable for replacing conventional guitar with grand piano as the primary instrument alongside drums and shrieked vocals. The result is a genuinely strange, dissonant take on black metal that sounds like nothing else in the California underground.
Alexandria, Virginia thrash metal band active since 2012, hailing from the Washington D.C. metro area where the region's hardcore and metal scenes have long cross-pollinated. Their name invokes the workmanlike brutality of classic thrash, and their decade-plus tenure suggests a band committed to keeping the style alive in the mid-Atlantic underground.
