Death metal and grindcore band from Basel, Switzerland, formed in 2014. Their irreverent pop-culture name belies a serious commitment to extreme metal.
Slovenj Gradec-based stoner metal outfit active since 2017, channeling thick, fuzz-drenched riffs and a laid-back, groove-driven approach to heaviness. Their sound worships at the altar of the almighty riff, drawing from the deep wells of 1970s proto-metal and desert rock.
Athens-based raw black metal project active since 2023, burying its compositions beneath layers of caustic distortion and lo-fi haze. Their uncompromising approach to production channels the most primitive currents of the second wave.
Danish progressive metal band from Aalborg, formed in 2016. They explore progressive metal's expansive possibilities from northern Jutland.
Huddersfield-based NWOBHM-inspired heavy metal act active since 2019, channeling the raw energy and twin-guitar attack of the late 1970s and early 1980s British heavy metal explosion. Their sound recalls the glory days of Iron Maiden, Saxon, and Diamond Head.
German doom metal band from Freiburg im Breisgau, formed in 2019. Named after the legendary Harz mountain peak, they craft heavy, fog-laden doom metal from the Black Forest region.
German black metal band from Bruchsal, active since 2008. They deliver moon-haunted black metal from the Upper Rhine Plain.
Atmospheric black metal entity from Moscow, formed in 2011. Their sound envelops the listener in walls of reverb-drenched tremolo picking and shimmering ambient passages that dissolve the boundary between beauty and ferocity.
