Chicago's Wysdom combine blackened heavy metal with a punk-inflected edge, filtering their approach through the gritty street-level energy of Illinois's underground since their 2017 formation. Their crossing of classic heavy metal muscle with black metal darkness and punk attitude gives them a distinctly rough-edged character.
Orlando, Florida's Wysteria emerged in 2024 with a deathcore-anchored sound that brings together breakdown-heavy brutality and melodic death metal structure into a dense and aggressive package. Their arrival in the Florida extreme metal ecosystem builds on a long regional tradition of technical and punishing heaviness.
Heavy/doom metal and hard rock band from Skellefteå, Sweden. Wytch brings crushing heavy doom with a hard rock edge from the mining town of northern Västerbotten.
Four-piece hard rock and heavy metal band from Lancaster, England featuring Colin Hendra on guitar and vocals, with five studio albums on Bad Omen Records. Their shimmering blend of NWOBHM, folk rock, and progressive textures has earned them a devoted following, with 2025's V: Lamentations produced by Ed Turner.
Wytchaus are a black/death metal project formed in 2022 whose precise location remains unknown, channeling the claustrophobic and malevolent intersection of both genres with an outsider anonymity that suits the material. Their work leans into the darkness common to the underground extreme metal world.
Death metal band from Plymouth, England active since 2012. Wytchburner delivers punishing death metal from the Devon coast with an occult edge.
Heavy metal band from Darwen, Lancashire formed in 2019. Wythyn Shadows forges classic heavy metal from the Lancashire mill town at the foot of the West Pennine Moors.
Groove and thrash metal band from Port-la-Nouvelle, France active since 2014. Wyvern merges groove metal's rhythmic heaviness with thrash's aggressive speed from the Mediterranean coast of Languedoc.
Wärcharge is a Brazilian raw black metal, crust, and grindcore outfit formed in 2012, combining the primitive brutality of war metal with the short-burst intensity of grindcore and the anarchic energy of crust punk. The band released Heavy Sessions in 2022, a recording that captures their abrasive and unpolished approach to extreme music.
