A Salt Lake City act that has quietly developed a blend of melodic death and black metal since 2008, Eallic leans into the melodic side of both genres to craft something darker and more atmospheric than either alone.
An Austin black metal project that surfaced in 2022, Earth Weary Twin sounds like it belongs to a colder latitude — raw, desolate, and shaped by the grimmer end of the genre's emotional spectrum.
A Portland atmospheric black metal act that emerged in 2023, Earthen Altar works within a tradition the Pacific Northwest helped build — vast, bleak, and evocative of landscapes that dwarf the people moving through them.
Denver's Earthen Tongue, active since 2015, merges doom metal's weight with the colder textures of black metal, producing something appropriately bleak for a band with "666" in their Bandcamp handle.
Eugene, Oregon's Earthenwomb has been navigating experimental black metal and noise since 2008, a project that refuses to play it straight — unsettling, abrasive, and genuinely strange in ways that keep the genre alive.
Florida's Earthmother, around since 2015, inhabits the space where post-black metal's atmospheric sprawl meets hardcore's immediate, physical intensity — an emotionally raw combination that doesn't soften either influence.
Founded in 2024, Easy Way is a depressive atmospheric black metal project with roots in American DSBM tradition — cold, interior, and built from the kind of suffering that doesn't announce itself loudly.
Chicago's Eat Their Own fuses black and death metal into something antagonistic and unapologetic, a product of a city with a long tradition of underground extremity that dates back to their 2015 formation.
Santa Barbara, California's Eating Fear blends black and death metal into a coastal darkness, active since 2012 and operating outside the typical scenes that tend to define both genres.
Portland, Maine's Eave works in the post-black metal space where bleakness becomes almost meditative — depressive and expansive in equal measure, drawing from the cold landscape the state does not lack for.
A 2024-formed Pennsylvania black metal project, Eavernal operates with the rawness and isolation that characterizes much of the American underground, still early but already committed to the form's bleakest registers.
Out of Shenandoah, New York, Eayondig is a brand-new black metal act formed in 2024 whose name is as unusual as their chosen corner of the Hudson Valley — raw, rural, and rooted in the underground.
Bloomington's Ebon Arcanum has been building atmospheric black metal architectures since 2014 — sweeping, cold, and steeped in the esoteric imagery that gives the subgenre much of its visual identity.
Seattle's Ebony Pendant emerged in 2019 with a black metal sound that draws from the Pacific Northwest's deep well of gloom — raw-edged and ceremonial, belonging to a city with no shortage of darkness to mine.
Fort Wayne, Indiana's Ecferus has been one of the Midwest's more prolific black metal solo acts since 2015, churning out a torrent of raw, philosophically dense material that rewards patience from listeners willing to go deep.
