Aachen's Psychoroll has been rolling through melodic death metal territory since 2019, adding rhythmic swagger to Gothenburg-style harmonies. Their western German border-city base places them at the crossroads of German, Belgian, and Dutch metal traditions.
Austrian death and sludge metal band from Braunau am Inn, formed in 2016, combining elements of grindcore and hardcore into their heavy sound. Their lineup features members connected to other regional acts including Ultrawurscht and Behind the Mask.
Brutal death metal band from Moscow and Saratov, Russia, formed in 2016, performing sonic lobotomies through devastating brutal death metal. They bring clinical precision to the Russian brutal death metal scene.
Death and thrash metal band from Venice, Italy, formed in 2015, dissecting extreme metal from the floating city. Their surgical name suits the precision of their death-thrash approach.
Leipzig's Psycrotted delivers death-thrash with the intensity befitting one of eastern Germany's most culturally vibrant cities. Their Saxon base connects them to a growing scene that has emerged from the shadow of reunification with renewed creative energy.
Nordenham's Pryer delivers melodic heavy metal from Germany's North Sea coast, where the Weser River meets the ocean. Their maritime Lower Saxon setting infuses their anthemic sound with the wide-open energy of the Butjadingen peninsula.
Buchloe's Psycho Mania has been thrashing with Bavarian intensity since 2016, channeling the genre's '80s heyday through an Allgäu lens. Their Swabian market-town origins produce a sound fueled by blue-collar energy and punk-adjacent attitude.
Melodic doom and death metal band from Kremenchuk, Ukraine, formed in 2020, delivering melodic doom-death from the central Ukrainian city on the Dnieper River. They bring crushing melody.
Goregrind and death metal band from Alexandroupoli, Greece, formed in 2017, whose Greek name means 'corpse.' They deliver appropriately grotesque goregrind from the northeastern corner of Greece.
