Stoner metal act from Rome, formed in 2003. Their compositions ride low-slung grooves through clouds of distortion, evoking the sun-baked psychedelia of the desert rock tradition.
Doom metal outfit from Zutphen, formed in 2021. Their compositions stretch conventional structures to their limits, filling every measure with oppressive weight and deliberate, devastating momentum.
Gothenburg-based groove metal act active since 2005, anchoring their sound in mid-tempo, syncopated riffing designed to generate maximum physical impact. Their chunky, headbang-inducing compositions channel the spirit of Pantera and Lamb of God.
Wrocław-based stoner/doom outfit active since 2011, conjuring thick clouds of fuzz-laden riffage and hypnotic, groove-driven compositions. Their sound channels the haze of 1970s proto-metal through a modern lens of distortion-worship and lysergic exploration.
Thrash metal band from Novy Jicin, Czech Republic, active since 2015. They deliver classic thrash metal from the Moravian region.
Komsomolsk-on-Amur-based thrash metal act active since 2008, delivering riff-driven aggression rooted in the genre's foundational principles of speed, precision, and relentless energy. Their material channels the spirit of 1980s thrash through a Russian filter.
German death metal band from Neumünster, formed in 2014. They deliver aggressive, uncompromising death metal from the northern German underground.
Death metal outfit from Split, formed in 2022. Their sound draws from the genre's foundational playbook of crushing riffs, blast beats, and growled vocals, executed with the conviction of dedicated extremists.
Athens-based thrash metal/metalcore act active since 2015, bridging old-school thrash's riff-driven attack with metalcore's modern dynamics and breakdown-heavy structures. Their sound draws from both traditions with aggressive conviction.
