Melodic death and industrial metal band from Hilden, Germany, formed in 2014, fusing the emotional melodies of Scandinavian death metal with cold industrial textures. Their hybrid approach creates a unique sonic identity within the German metal landscape.
A 2025 Parisian groove metal and metalcore project, Personal War declares intimate combat through aggressive, rhythmically-driven compositions. Their French capital base connects them to a metropolitan scene where hardcore-adjacent metal thrives in small, intense venues.

Melodic death metal band from Oulu, Finland, formed in 2024, bringing Scandinavian melodic death metal to the northernmost reaches of the Finnish metal scene. They blend melody with death metal aggression from the Arctic Circle region.
