Sludge/doom/death metal band from Sheffield, formed in 2010. They fuse the crushing weight of doom with death metal's intensity and sludge metal's abrasive grime from the steel city's underground.
Death metal outfit from Košice, formed in 2007. Their sound draws from the genre's foundational playbook of crushing riffs, blast beats, and growled vocals, executed with the conviction of dedicated extremists.
Arruda dos Vinhos-based death metal/grindcore outfit active since 2013, blasting through short, ferocious compositions that marry death metal's low-end churn with grindcore's frenetic speed. Their music operates at maximum intensity with minimal patience for subtlety.
Spanish melodic death/folk metal band from Donostia-San Sebastián, formed in 2012. They blend melodic death metal with folk metal's festive spirit from the Basque coast.
Kraków-based experimental black/death metal entity formed in 2017, channeling Slavic folklore and demonic mythology through dissonant, avant-garde extremity. Their unorthodox approach to extreme metal draws from Poland's rich tradition of boundary-pushing black metal.
French progressive death metal band from Toulouse, formed in 2021. They push death metal into progressive territory from the pink city of Occitanie.
Spanish deathcore band from Benidorm on the Costa Blanca, formed in 2010. They deliver crushing deathcore from the Mediterranean tourist resort.
Moscow-based death 'n' roll act active since 2016, carving out their niche within the Russian heavy music underground. Their compositions reflect a commitment to their chosen sonic palette, delivered with conviction and underground credibility.
Solo sesh grind project from Leeds, created by James Purple of Cranial Discharge in 2018. The debut Lords of the Sesh delivers six tracks of chaotic goregrind and slam with deliberately absurdist, party-fuelled humor and unintelligible vocals.
