Madrid, ES · 2013–present · active
Melodic extreme metal band spanning Madrid and Edinburgh, led by Daniel R. Flys and Jaime Torres. Their 2024 sophomore album A Giant Bound to Fall features guest appearances from Dan Swano and Sven de Caluwe of Aborted, mixed and mastered at Unisound.
Munich, DE · 2015–present · active
Munich-based metal act that evolved from melodic death metal origins toward deathcore since 2015. Their stylistic shift reflects the broader trend toward breakdown-heavy, rhythmically punishing extreme metal.
Milan, IT · 2017–present · active
Milan, Italy — death metal and progressive metal of the most uncompromising kind. Active since 2017, they deal in odd-time signatures woven into surprisingly accessible songwriting. The combination of influences yields something more interesting than any single genre label implies.
Zerbst, DE · 2010–present · active
Melodic black/death metal act from Zerbst in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, blending harmonic depth with extreme metal aggression since 2010. Their name suggests timeless knowledge, lending philosophical weight to their dual-genre approach.
Västerås, SE · 2026–present · active
Västerås-based death metal act, active since 2026 delivering technically precise fretwork wrapped in visceral brutality. Rooted in Sweden's legendary metal infrastructure, their recordings carry the stench of early 90s death metal worship.
Hillegom, NL · 2025–present · active
Straddling the line between black metal and death metal, this Dutch actfrom Hillegom fuses dissonant chord progressions shrouded in reverb-drenched malice into a cohesive whole. They've been at it since 2025, and atmosphere and hostility share equal billing in their work.
Opoczno, PL · 1999–present · active
When Ethelyn emerged in 1999 from Opoczno, they brought with them a sound rooted in black metal, death metal, and melodic death metal — all percussive blast-beat onslaughts and cavernous production. Low-tuned guitars and guttural vocals form the bedrock of their attack.
Madrid, ES · 2011–present · active
Death, gothic, and symphonic metal act from Madrid, Spain active since 2011. They weave dark romanticism and orchestral textures into their extreme metal framework.
Brussels, BE · 2019–present · active
Melodic death/doom metal act from Brussels, Belgium, weaving sorrowful melodies into crushing, slow-burning compositions since 2019. Their dual-genre approach balances the harmonic beauty of melodic death metal with doom's oppressive emotional weight.
