Michigan's Sacrificial Rite works in the corrosive tradition of raw black metal and noise, producing recordings that feel less like performances than transmissions from somewhere deeply hostile.

California's Sadisme has operated since 2018 in the unforgiving terrain of raw black metal, building a catalog defined by primitive production and an unwillingness to soften any edge.

Los Angeles's Satani Infernalis have operated in the raw black metal underground since 2016, a project that deliberately resists the city's association with polished production in favor of primitive, corroded sound design.

Phoenix's Satanic Gore Procession emerged in 2024 with the full-commitment intensity that raw black metal demands in the desert heat — a city better known for extreme temperatures than extreme metal, but whose isolation and hostility translates naturally into the genre's rawness.

A Texas raw black metal project born in 2025, Satanik and Konfused embrace the deliberately primitive and abrasive end of the spectrum — lo-fi production, caustic riffs, and a contempt for polish that defines the raw black metal underground.

American raw black metal project Seele emerged in 2018 with a sound rooted in the lo-fi, corrosive aesthetic that defines the most uncompromising wing of the genre — the German word for "soul" suggesting a project concerned less with polish than with some deeper, harder-to-articulate extraction. Their location-less existence reinforces the isolationist character that raw black metal has always embraced.

Sempiternal Suffering formed in 2022 and practice raw black metal in the most stripped-down sense — minimal production, relentless atmosphere, and a deliberate rejection of anything approaching comfort or accessibility.

Anonymous by design, the music does all the speaking.

Sepulchrum emerged from Irving, Texas in 2023 trafficking in raw black metal of the most unadorned and primitive variety.

They are part of a quietly growing raw black metal presence in the North Texas area.
