Double-Wide is a southern metal band from Armagh and Coleraine in Northern Ireland, formed in 2010 with a deep blues influence and low-tuned, groove-heavy sound inspired by Crowbar, Down, and Corrosion of Conformity.

Doupov is a thrash metal band from Klášterec nad Ohří, Czech Republic, formed in 2021. Calling themselves a "Historical Thrash Metal Commando," their album "Duše hor" channels Czech regional history and folklore through aggressive thrash riffing.
Dove plays thrash metal from Porto, active since 2014 and delivering a dove's-eye view of destruction — peace's symbol weaponized through aggressive riffing. Their ironic name subverts expectations, packaging thrash's violence beneath an image of tranquility.
Down on Me is a groove/thrash metal band from Kehl, Germany, active since 2012. They combine heavy grooves with thrash aggression from the Franco-German border region.
