Esch-sur-Alzette, LU · 2016–present · active
Emerging from Esch-sur-Alzette, this Luxembourgish act forges Death Metal, Melodic Death Metal, and Metalcore built on suffocating heaviness anchored by rumbling low-end. Each release doubles down on cavernous production and churning tremolo work.
Kazan, RU · 2019–present · active
When Enslave emerged in 2019 from Kazan, they brought with them a sound rooted in metalcore — all hardcore aggression refined with metal's technical ambition. The combination of influences yields something more interesting than any single genre label implies.
Brilon, DE · 2013–present · active

Berlin, DE · 2001–present · active
