Hailing from Exeter, New York, Euporie has been forging raw, uncompromising black metal since 2013. Named after one of Jupiter's outermost moons, they channel the void of deep space into frigid, desolate soundscapes rooted in the American black metal underground.

Binghamton's Everdusk is one of New York's longest-running underground black metal acts, active since 2001 and operating in the upstate New York scene far from the metropolitan centers.

Long Island's Evighet — the Swedish word for 'eternity' — has been haunting the New York black metal underground out of Nesconset since 2020. The name's Scandinavian reference signals an act that takes the Norwegian and Swedish roots of the genre seriously, channeling that tradition through an American suburban lens.
