Voces del Odio is a metalcore band from Pedro Aguirre Cerda, Santiago, Chile, formed in 2008. The band released two EPs — "Esclavos del hambre" in 2010 and "Esclavos del hambre II" in 2011 — with lyrics exploring themes of apocalypse, society, personal struggle, and hate.
American black metal entity formed in 2012, with location withheld — a fitting anonymity for a project whose name implies something summoned rather than simply formed. Active for over a dozen years within the shadow network of orthodox American black metal, Vocivus has cultivated a ritualistic approach that prioritizes atmosphere and mystique over visibility.
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania post-black metal project formed in 2022, their name evoking submersion and drowning against the backdrop of the city's steel-gray skies and industrial waterways. Vodoem reaches beyond traditional black metal's orthodoxy into atmospheric, introspective territory, building music with emotional depth alongside its darker impulses.
Columbia, Missouri heavy metal band formed in 2017, rooted in the traditional genre's melodic structures, twin-guitar riffing, and commitment to craft over extremity. Vohnkar represents the American heartland's quieter but persistent metal community, delivering riff-forward music that values classic heavy metal's clarity and energy on its own terms.
Columbus, Ohio grindcore and death metal band formed in 2016, fusing the genre's velocity and crust punk's anarchic rawness with death metal's low-end devastation. Rooted in Columbus's scrappy DIY underground, Voice of Crows produce music with both political sharpness and physical force, treating brevity and brutality as equally essential tools.
Formed in Cleveland in 2021, Voices of the Damned fuse the punishing weight of death metal with groove metal's rhythmic swagger, building songs around thick, locked-in riffs and a relentless sense of momentum. The Cleveland scene's blue-collar aggression runs through everything they do, grounding the brutality in something physical and immediate. They're a young band arriving fully formed.
Boston's Voices of the Dead have been cultivating their strain of death metal since 2012, drawing on the genre's old-school foundations while keeping the execution tight and modern. Their music carries the weight of the New England underground — cold, deliberate, and uncompromising in its commitment to the craft. Over a decade in, they remain one of Boston's quietly reliable death metal acts.
Formed in 2017 in Eagle, Colorado, Void Alchemy work within atmospheric black metal's wide canvas — long-form compositions that let texture and space do as much work as riffs, building toward moments of overwhelming density before pulling back into something quieter and more contemplative. The Colorado mountains are an unavoidable frame of reference here, vast and indifferent in the way the best atmospheric black metal tends to feel. They're a project concerned with creating sustained emotional environments rather than simply piling on extremity.
South Carolina's Void Blight arrived in 2024 playing blackened death metal — a style that takes the ferocity of death metal and wires it through black metal's corrosive atmosphere, producing something caustic and unforgiving. Being one of the newer entries in the US blackened death scene means they're building from a deep template, but their early output suggests a band with a clear sense of what they want to destroy. A fresh but already focused voice in a crowded field.
