Saint-Petersburg-based 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 project from Filipstad, emerging in 2020. Their compositions draw from the wellspring of second-wave Scandinavian tradition while filtering it through the cultural context of their Swedish origins.
Black metal project from Ancona, emerging in 2005. Their compositions draw from the wellspring of second-wave Scandinavian tradition while filtering it through the cultural context of their Italian origins.
London-based doom/sludge outfit active since 2024, dragging their compositions through a swamp of distortion, feedback, and crushing tempos. Their sound sits at the punishing intersection where doom metal's patience meets sludge's confrontational aggression.
Friesland-based brutal death metal outfit active since 2013, delivering relentless blastbeat-driven punishment and guttural vocal extremity. Their compositions trade in the genre's heaviest currency: slamming breakdowns, inhuman vocals, and wall-to-wall brutality.
Cold, unrelenting black metal from Gdynia, active since 2014. Their sound embodies the genre's core principles: razor-sharp tremolo picking, furious drumming, and an atmosphere thick with hostility and darkness.
Finnish doom/stoner metal band from Oulu, formed in 2010. They deliver tusked, heavy doom-stoner from the dark north of Finland.
Thrash metal outfit from Milan, formed in 2010. Their compositions hit with the urgent intensity that defines the genre at its best: fast, tight, and unapologetically aggressive.
German black metal project formed in 2021. They channel bestial, boar-themed black metal with hammering intensity.
