Spanish black metal band from Málaga, formed in 2020. They channel fist-of-blood black metal from the Andalusian coast.
Emerging in 2019 from Örsundsbro, this death metal act channels the genre's primal aggression through tight, riff-driven compositions. Their recordings carry the unmistakable weight of classic death metal.
Cold, unrelenting black metal from Sweden, active since 2012. Their sound embodies the genre's core principles: razor-sharp tremolo picking, furious drumming, and an atmosphere thick with hostility and darkness.
Nijmegen-based black metal act active since 2011, channeling the genre's core tenets of tremolo-driven riffing and blast-beat fury through a Dutch lens. Their recordings maintain a commitment to the raw, unvarnished aesthetic that defines underground black metal.
German black metal band from Bielefeld, formed in 2015. They forge blade-sharp black metal from the Teutoburg Forest region.
Blutkrieg is a one-man black metal project from Mexico City, Mexico, operating under Azermedoth Records since 2015. The project released a trio of demos in its first year of activity — A Cold Wind Blows in the Sky, The Cult of Shadows, and Master of Destruction — establishing a raw, uncompromising approach to black metal rooted in extremist and misanthropic themes.
German black metal project formed in 2013. They deliver laboratory-crafted black metal with a clinical intensity.
Dutch raw black metal and dungeon synth project active since 2024, oscillating between caustic, lo-fi black metal hostility and fantastical synthesizer passages dripping with medieval atmosphere. Their dual-natured output bridges the gap between the genre's most primitive impulses and its escapist, RPG-influenced side.
Black metal act from Tournai, Belgium, one of the Wallonian scene's longer-running projects, active since 2005. They channel nearly two decades of devotion to the black metal craft.
