Melodic death/thrash metal and crossover band from Nyon, Switzerland, active since 2014. They blend melodic death metal hooks with thrash and crossover energy from the shores of Lake Geneva.
Mezzolombardo (Trento)-based southern metal act active since 2014, injecting blues-influenced swagger and whiskey-soaked groove into their heavy, riff-driven sound. Their music channels the spirit of American Southern rock and metal through a Italian perspective.
Utrecht-based death metal act active since 2017, trafficking in the genre's essential currency of guttural vocals, down-tuned riffs, and relentless percussive punishment. Their compositions deliver uncompromising heaviness rooted in the old-school tradition.
Punk-infused black metal from Gothenburg, formed in 2024. Their short, violent compositions marry crust punk's directness with black metal's atmospheric menace.
German black 'n' roll band from Rosenheim in Upper Bavaria, formed in 2023. They merge black metal's darkness with rock and roll swagger for a Bavarian-flavored blackened groove.
Sundsvall-based stoner/doom outfit active since 2023, 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.
Atmospheric black metal entity from Lviv, formed in 2013. Their sound envelops the listener in walls of reverb-drenched tremolo picking and shimmering ambient passages that dissolve the boundary between beauty and ferocity.
Punishing brutal death metal from Leigh-on-Sea, formed in 2013. Guttural vocals scrape the basement of human register while churning riffs and gravity-blast percussion pummel with mechanical precision.
