One of the most noted and notorious bands in the realm of extreme metal, Watain emerged in the early 2000s with a sound rooted in icy Scandinavian black metal. Known for their shocking live shows and theistic Satanist views, the band have made an art of combining terror and technical acumen on standout releases like Lawless Darkness (2010), The Wild Hunt (2013), Trident Wolf Eclipse (2018), and The Agony and Ecstasy of Watain (2022).
