8. Warseid
The Lowdown: Though with only 2 demos and 2 EPs under their belt these young Wisconsin Black metallers have a sound that sounds like a veteran symphonic black metal act from Scandinavia. Their last release, a 2012 EP named Where Fate Lies Unbound, is a scorcher of a release, hinting at something very special in the near future. From the busy orchestration, and downright epic bombastic tones, this band has it all and isn't simple Cradle of Filth or Dimmu Borgir rip, off as they have much more intricate but tempered sound and some excellent clean vocals courtesy of keyboardist Joe Meland.
