Kanashimi—Japanese depressive black metal. With a piano.
Pyha—Korean black metal. Pyha is mostly known for The Haunted House, which the guy apparently recorded when he was 14, but he has another album, Majbulnol-i, which deserves at least as much recognition, and which I’d call ‘blues metal’ if that didn’t sound ridiculous.

East Asian metal.
Esthete Sinistre—The best metal band I’ve heard—it’s too bad they’ve only ever recorded one track.
Ego Fall—folk metal from Inner Mongolia. (see also)
