Stockholm-based crossover thrash act active since 2020, smashing together thrash metal's riff-driven velocity with punk's stripped-down aggression and DIY ethos. Their short, sharp compositions hit with the impact of a circle pit in a phone booth.
Skopje/Struga-based black metal/punk hybrid active since 2013, smashing together d-beat aggression with tremolo-picked ferocity. Their stripped-down, confrontational approach owes as much to Discharge as to Darkthrone.
Lincoln-based grindcore outfit active since 2014, delivering ferocious blasts of fury that leave no room for conventional song structures. Their compositions compress maximum aggression into minimal running times.
Birmingham-based project merging black metal's atmospheric bleakness with doom metal's crushing deliberation, active since 2003. Their compositions stretch between glacial tempos and frenzied tremolo passages, creating a dynamic tension between despair and fury.
Crossover thrash outfit from Skopje, formed in 2000. Their sound channels the spirit of 1980s crossover, fusing hardcore punk's immediacy with thrash metal's technical edge.
German death metal and crust band from Berlin, formed in 2023. They merge death metal's heaviness with crust punk's raw, d-beat-driven urgency.
