Avenger

Avenger is a long-running black metal force hailing from Slovakia, formed in 1992 by vocalist/guitarist Peter "Alcom" Alkovic. Known for their raw, uncompromising sound and themes of misanthropy, anti-religion, and existential dread, they’ve carved a niche in the underground with releases like *Bohemian Dark Metal* (2020) and *Godless* (2012). Their work often blends icy tremolo riffs with folk-inspired melodies, earning descriptors like "Bohemian Dark Metal" as both an album title and subgenre tag. Recent releases like *Feast of Anger, Joy of Despair* (2023) and the career-spanning *MCMXCII - MMXII* compilation showcase their unrelenting energy and loyalty to black metal’s primal spirit, maintaining cult status while avoiding mainstream concessions.
