Groove/thrash metal band from Kiel on Germany's Baltic coast, active since 2015 and delivering crushing, rhythmically driven compositions. Their predatory name matches the heavy, circling menace of their riff-heavy sound.
Groove/thrash metal band from Nuremberg, active since 2014 and delivering beast-mode heaviness from the heart of Franconia. Their decade of output channels thick, powerful riffs with an aggressive, larger-than-life presence.
Stoner/groove metal project from Finland, formed in 2017 with a Finnish name meaning "stoned Satan." Their irreverent name captures the intersection of psychedelic stoner grooves and heavy metal blasphemy.
When KLL emerged in 2011 from Trento, they brought with them a sound rooted in groove metal — all thick, muscular guitar tone married to body-moving rhythms. The combination of influences yields something more interesting than any single genre label implies.
Progressive groove metal band from Poitiers that evolved into broader progressive metal/rock territory since forming under this name in 2016. Their shapeshifting, clone-referencing name matches their constant artistic evolution and refusal to stay in one place.
Southern/groove metal band from Wetzlar in Hesse, active since 2010 and channeling the swaggering heaviness of American southern metal through a German lens. Their groove-driven sound pairs thick riffs with a bluesy, hard-rocking attitude.
