G.U.T.
Norway · formed 2005 · last active 2007
The largely electronic solo vehicle of Norwegian musician Cornelius Jakhelln (half of Solefald), pairing his avant-garde black metal roots with electronica, darkwave, hip hop and drum'n'bass production. The sole album, My Only Drug Is Madness (2007), trades metal instrumentation for programmed beats and samples, situating G.U.T. closer to Nordic electronic-avant-garde territory than to any conventional black metal scene.

- UnaffiliatedEI 11YIGGlitchAmbientBlack
YIG is the solo black industrial / avant-garde dark ambient project of Denver, Colorado producer xWx, who writes and records all material (mixed/mastered by Bart at Crash Pad Studios). Releases like the 2016 demo and 2017's "SIGIL" and "RITUALE" combine abrasive electronic textures, noise, and industrial rhythm with metal-adjacent heaviness, citing Blut Aus Nord and Godflesh as touchstones for the project's blend of black metal atmosphere and industrial machinery.
- UnaffiliatedEI 20GriiimGlitchBlackAmbient
Griiim is the solo project of Paris-based visual artist and musician Maxime 'MT' Taccardi (also the sole member of atlas act K.F.R.), fusing atmospheric black metal with trap, trip-hop, industrial noise, and power electronics. Angry Metal Guy describes 2019 debut Pope Art as 'an eerie concoction of trap, trip-hop, industrial, noise and black metal' where 'true-blue riffs surface only once' and guitars mostly function to 'simulate droning dives and oppressive noise' under 'phat beats.' RateYourMusic and Discogs tag the record Avant-Garde Metal / Atmospheric Black Metal, and it features guest vocalists Meyhna'ch (Mutiilation) and O (Obskuritatem), released via Purity Through Fire.
- UnaffiliatedEI 11[auloplegma]GlitchBlackAmbient
Avant-garde metal duo of 47_N_74D0 and horrid_charme, recorded and arranged 2019-2020 between Warsaw and Madrid. Their debut Deformed by the Misuse of Soul [RG06] (ruego label, May 2020) fuses black metal and industrial metal with death industrial, noise, musique concrète, and glitch, using field recordings and sound design across four long-form tracks (one featuring guest act portento).
- UnaffiliatedEI 9ÄgakäkenGlitchBlack
Ägakäken is a one-person Estonian black metal/experimental project helmed by SÜBÜR (guitar, vocals, synths, percussion). Its 2022 EP "BlÄkk VVärkk" mixes black metal with harsh noise, noise rock, and post-rock textures across short, abrasive tracks, some under 30 seconds. Other 2021–2022 releases include "DEMO 2021," "AxLxBxUxM," and "Seksiori Indrek."
- UnaffiliatedEI 9StrangewaysGlitchBlackAmbient
Strangeways is an experimental black metal band from Jerusalem, formed in 2006 by Avi Caspi and Yossi Darmon (later joined by drummer Nir Nakav). Their sole full-length, Rotting Under the La La Bombs (2013, Orgasmatrön Records), delivers Mayhem-indebted, Attila Csihar-toned Norwegian-style black metal roughened by deliberate CD-skip glitch edits and two contrasting instrumental interludes (keyboard/piano, and pure dark ambient). A minor, single-album entry at the fringe of Israel's small extreme metal scene.
- UnaffiliatedEI 8Rotting HeavenGlitchBlack
Rotting Heaven was a black metal band from Sergiyev Posad, Moscow Oblast, Russia, active 2008–2017, part of a small local scene that also produced Neon Scaffold and VTTA. Their sound has been described as classical, icy black metal contaminated with caustic electronic effects in the Mysticum lineage, closing out with a 2017 split with Wolok before disbanding.
- Cavalera / GojiraEI 17MixhellGlitchAmbient
Mixhell is the São Paulo-born electronic project founded in 2006 by former Sepultura drummer Iggor Cavalera and his wife Laima Leyton, which grew from a husband-and-wife DJ duo into a live three-piece with bassist Max Blum. Their sound welds techno, acid, disco and industrial to Cavalera's ferocious live drumming, landing somewhere between dance music and rock. The debut album Spaces (2013), mixed by Brazilian techno producer Gui Boratto and released on Boysnoize Records and Last Gang, features a guest vocal from Greg Puciato of The Dillinger Escape Plan on the single 'Exit Wound'.
- UnaffiliatedEI 8SADWRISTGlitchBlack
SADWRIST is a French solo artist and self-described pioneer of the 'trashwave' aesthetic, fusing harsh noise, witch-house, djent, black metal, and trap into dense, glitch-riddled tracks. Song and album titles are rendered almost entirely in stylized Unicode symbols, extending the project's noisy, deliberately unstable identity into its visual presentation as much as its sound.
- UnaffiliatedEI 3NlorgpipesatelliteBlack
Nlorgpipe is the extremely prolific raw-black-metal solo/duo vehicle of Jesse (aka Zolgorm, aka Nlorgpipe), who is also the drummer/vocalist/bassist of Flint, Michigan act Baazlvaat. Since 2021 (as a rename of the earlier Zolgorm project) it has put out dozens of lo-fi, noise-caked releases blending black and death metal with industrial grit; a listener comparison to Finntroll's melodies surfaces on some tracks but was not confirmed as actual folk instrumentation.
- UnaffiliatedEI 13EkdikēsisBlackGlitchAmbient
A one-man Icelandic project from scene veteran Thordur Bjornsson (also of Illkynja, Hrae and Endalok), built on cavernous, chaotic black metal soaked in murky, oppressive atmosphere. Schizomenous // (2020) and Canvas of a New Dawn (2021) weave in drum machine, synths, field recordings and unsettling radio-broadcast samples. Released through UK label Onism Productions in small limited runs.
