Laurel, Montana's Mourning Dust occupy a rare and remote corner of the American underground, blending black metal's rawness with the hazy, psychedelic weight of doom and sludge — music that sounds like the vast Montana landscape turned hostile.
A Massachusetts depressive black metal project active since 2017, Mourning Moonlight pursue the most introspective and despairing end of the genre — raw, lo-fi, and built around an aching, solitary intensity.
Operating out of the Omaha, Nebraska area, Mourning Veil combine the ferocity of death metal with black metal's corrosive atmosphere, forging a death/black hybrid that is both technically driven and darkly expressive.
Lansing, Michigan's Mourning Wolf have been merging melodic death metal's harmonic sensibility with black metal's bleak, tremolo-driven intensity since 2013, crafting a hybrid sound rooted in the northern Midwest underground.
Chicago black metal project Movarth emerged in 2024, channeling the urban isolation of the Midwest into raw, coldly atmospheric black metal that draws on both the Scandinavian tradition and a distinctly American sense of desolation.
A Washington state melodic black metal project formed in 2020, Muerteblanca blends icy atmosphere with melodic sensibility, drawing on the Scandinavian second-wave tradition while carving out its own cold, introspective voice.
Las Vegas black/death metal act with roots stretching back to 2007, Muggle Death Camp brings a caustic, no-frills extremity to the desert city's metal underground, blending raw black metal savagery with death metal's structural brutality.
Blackened death metal released through Redefining Darkness Records. Debut EP 'Misery of One' dropped in 2022.
Grand Rapids black metal project Munin draws on Norse mythology — its name taken from one of Odin's ravens — to anchor an atmospheric, ambient-inflected sound that has grown steadily since the band's formation in 2016.
