Sintra-based deathcore act active since 2015, fusing death metal's guttural extremity with metalcore's breakdown-heavy dynamics and modern production aesthetics. Their compositions alternate between blasting intensity and crushing, floor-dropping breakdowns.
Riga-based heavy/thrash metal outfit active since 2014, combining traditional heavy metal's melodic sensibility with thrash's speed and aggression. Their sound occupies the hard-hitting middle ground between classic metal anthems and thrash metal fury.

Treviso-based heavy metal act active since 2009, delivering riff-driven compositions rooted in the genre's foundational traditions of power chords, soaring vocals, and galloping rhythms. Their sound carries the unmistakable stamp of classic heavy metal conviction.
