A sole practitioner of atmospheric black metal who emerged in 2024, weaving dense, suffocating textures around themes of self-erasure and void. Harrowing ambient passages dissolve into raw, tremolo-driven cascades.
Out of rural Unionville, Tennessee, this black/death metal project unleashes a particularly nasty strain of extremity — snarling tremolo malice colliding with cavernous death metal weight in near-total isolation.
A long-running Illinois one-man project that began in raw, caustic black metal before evolving into sweeping symphonic and atmospheric territories — a solitary journey spanning over a decade of increasingly ambitious composition.
Iarna, whose name draws from the Romanian word for winter, emerged from Spokane in 2025 with a frost-bitten black metal sound that suits the high plateau cold of Eastern Washington.
Los Angeles black metal entity drawing its name and character from the god of fear's lesser moon, channeling a claustrophobic, dread-soaked atmosphere that feels at odds with its sun-drenched surroundings.
Atlanta's melodic death/black metal hybrid emerged in 2021 with a sound split between soaring melodic hooks and outright blackened hostility — the South's answer to the Gothenburg-Dissection axis.
A ferocious black/death/grind amalgam — the Bandcamp URL hints at Texas origins — colliding all three genres into something confrontational and barely contained, refusing to settle into any single extreme.
Minneapolis black/sludge metal duo formed in 2022, marrying the frozen misanthropy of black metal to the tar-thick heaviness of sludge in a way that suits the long, lightless winters of the upper Midwest.
New York black/sludge outfit operating in the space between blackened tremolo ferocity and the slow, grinding weight of sludge — an uneasy tension that gives their sound a lurching, unpredictable menace.
Santa Cruz black metal entity active since 2009, harnessing the fog and coastal desolation of the California central coast into a raw, ritualistic sound that refuses the clean production of city-scene peers.
Black metal from Marshalltown, Iowa — an act that proves the genre's nihilistic fire burns just as cold in the flat, windswept heartland as in any Scandinavian forest.
Rochester, Minnesota's symphonic black metal project layers orchestral grandeur over a foundation of raw, blasting extremity — a dramatic, cinematic approach to darkness that elevates the genre's theatrical potential.
Blending the grandeur of symphonic composition with the raw chill of atmospheric black metal, Idyllia emerged in 2020 as a project devoted to epic, immersive soundscapes that feel as vast as myth itself.
Born from the grey skies of Seattle in 2024, IFeelSick channels the rawness of depressive black metal into unfiltered expressions of anguish — lo-fi and visceral, with no interest in comfort.
Named for the river separating the realm of men from giants in Norse cosmology, Grand Rapids' Ifing weaves black metal ferocity with folk-rooted melodies, conjuring the mythic cold of the Upper Midwest.
