Burial Oath rise from Cleveland, Ohio channeling the cold fury of Scandinavian black metal through an American lens, drawing inspiration from Watain, Taake, and Mayhem. Founded in 2016, the band weaves death rituals and occult Satanic themes through raw, tremolo-picked aggression and blast-beat fury. Their devotion to the second wave black metal aesthetic gives them an authenticity that resonates with purists of the genre.

Philadelphia's Woe channel raw American black metal through a lens of urban despair and existential fury, distinguishing themselves from the Scandinavian template with a hardcore-influenced intensity. Albums like 'Quietly, Undramatically' and 'Hope Attrition' established mainman Chris Grigg's project as one of the most vital voices in the US black metal underground.
