Murmuüre

greyfleshtethered is the solo electronic black metal project of Daria, recording from the Connecticut woods and citing ambient black metal touchstones like Paysage d'Hiver, Neige et Noirceur, Trist, and Arkhtinn. 2021's 'The Dark Being' is an 83-minute, five-track narrative journey through alternate dimensions that blends atmospheric black metal with dark ambient, dungeon synth, and shoegaze textures. Live, the project splits its set between guitar and soundboard-triggered electronics. The project is explicitly framed as trans anarchist and anti-fascist within the black metal underground.

Bríi is the electronic-leaning solo alter ego of Brazilian multi-instrumentalist Caio Lemos (aka Serafim), better known for his acoustic-folk black metal project Kaatayra. Where Kaatayra leans on native Brazilian folk instrumentation, Bríi fuses raw black metal blast passages with dark ambient, techno, trance and space-psychedelia, described by one Metal Archives reviewer as an 'improbable' but effective genre collision. Based in Distrito Federal, Brazil, the project has released a string of albums since 2020 via Flowing Downward and Bandcamp, including Sem Propósito (2021) and Último Ancestral Comum (2023).

Solo raw black metal project of Ottawa multi-instrumentalist Jessica Kinney, running since 2016 across roughly eight releases including full-lengths and splits. The sound layers harsh, noise-caked black metal against warped, decayed ambient passages, earning press comparisons to Sutekh Hexen, Gnaw, and dark-ambient artist The Caretaker. Albums build a recurring retro-futuristic, dystopian mythos described by Vice as 'Metropolis meets Victorian death cult.'

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).

Portuguese experimental/atmospheric black metal project from Porto, self-styled 'Underwater Black Metal', built around Francisco Braga (aka Bragadast) and Artur Leão (aka Einsichtmar). Their 2022 album εἴδωλον weaves mythological narrative through drone-laden passages, tribal instrumentation (didgeridoo, berimbau, hangpan), and abrupt shifts between raging black metal and gentle ambient interludes.

Gelassenheit is the solo avant-garde/atmospheric black metal project of Uncumber (Mave/Abe Goren), based in Brooklyn/New York and active since 2020. The self-titled album blends symphonic black metal, avant-garde metal, dungeon synth, depressive black metal, and coldwave into a synth-heavy sound built around explicitly Christian-anarchist ('Red and Anarchist Black Metal') themes of communal living, care for the poor, and anti-fascism, framed by the artist as 'using Christianity as a tool for advocacy and unique aesthetic cultivation' rather than evangelism. Uncumber is a trans woman and has described the project in interviews as unblack, RABM-aligned black metal.

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.

Adaestuo is an international black metal project built around VJS (also known for Nightbringer, Demoncy, Incursus) and P.E. Packain (ex-Horna, Sargeist), with Hekte Zaren on vocals. Across Tacent Semitae (2016), Krew za krew (2018), and Manalan virrat (2020), raw black metal dissolves into extended dark-ambient and musique-concrete passages built around occult, ritual, and cosmogonic lyrical themes. It's a well-pedigreed underground black metal outfit, but none of its members' other projects currently appear in the atlas.

Isa was a solo Dutch black metal project from Arnhem, active only in 2008, releasing a single limited CD-R, Eindeloos, before disbanding. The record pairs raw, repetitive tremolo riffing with minimal, ambient-tinged guitar textures across three long, depressive tracks dealing with loneliness and isolation. It is a minor, self-contained entry in the Dutch DSBM/atmospheric underground with no documented links to other scene names.

Crown of Ascension is the solo experimental black metal project of UK multi-instrumentalist A. White (Oxfordshire), who is also the sole member of extreme-metal project Vessel of Iniquity and the industrial/drone/doom project Uncertainty Principle. The project blends blastbeat-driven black metal with industrial, drone and electronic textures, with cello recurring as a primary instrument alongside drum machines pushed to extreme tempos.
