Tenebres from Drancy in the Paris suburbs deliver heavy and speed metal under the French word for 'darkness' since 2016. A decade of shadowy compositions from the Seine-Saint-Denis department has produced energetic, classically rooted metal.
Brussels heavy/speed metal band Terrifiant draw from NWOBHM traditions and classic European speed metal to deliver a sound that is purposely retro yet energetic. Signed to Gates of Hell Records, the band released their self-titled debut album in 2020 after an earlier demo, with guitarist ZZ Slop and vocalist Lord TerrifianT anchoring the core lineup.
The Hammer Killers from the Basque fishing town of Bermeo deliver a raw fusion of heavy metal, speed metal, hard rock, and punk since 2014. Their violent name and coastal Basque origin drive a no-frills approach that channels the Atlantic storm energy of the Bay of Biscay.

Viennese heavy/speed/power metal band formed in 1995, Thunderlord recorded their material between 1997 and 1998 at rehearsal studios in Vienna, drawing on the spirit of classic European steel from acts like Judas Priest and Running Wild. Their previously unreleased recordings were remastered and made available in January 2022, bringing the band's early work to a wider audience.
