Pennsylvania's Eidolon has been constructing funeral doom with the patience the subgenre demands since 1992, one of the longer-running practitioners of death in slow motion — a ghost form that refuses to dissipate.
Olympia, Washington's Eigenlicht — "intrinsic light" — has been practicing black metal with a raw, Northern European seriousness since 2015, emerging from a city more associated with indie rock but building something colder and more ritualistic.
A raw black metal project out of Joliet, Illinois, Eighten Neintres emerged in 2021 with a lo-fi, caustic approach rooted in the underground traditions of the genre. Corrosive production and stripped-down hostility are the calling cards here.
Ein Schwarzes Kreuz — German for "a black cross" — formed in Sacramento in 2021, channeling a cold and austere brand of black metal that leans into the genre's more ceremonial and oppressive traditions.
A location-unknown black metal entity formed in 2021, Einmal operates in the shadows of the American underground with deliberate anonymity. The project's name — German for "once" — hints at an aesthetic of singular, uncompromising intent.
Buffalo's Eira threads together blackened death and progressive metal into something genuinely restless since forming in 2022. The band's willingness to pull from multiple extreme subgenres at once keeps things unpredictable and sharp.
Los Angeles technical black/death metal outfit Eiris has been refining a precision-engineered approach to extremity since 2017. Their music balances surgical riffing with the savagery expected of the blackened death tradition.
Cincinnati's Eisen Geist fuses black metal's malevolence with the propulsive, reckless energy of thrash, a combination the band has been honing since 2019. The result is nasty, fast, and shot through with a distinctly Germanic grimness.
Eishalle — "ice rink" in German — is an American raw black metal and ambient project whose location remains undisclosed. Since 2018 they've constructed an icy, desolate sound that lives between abrasive black metal and cold ambient drift.
