London-based death metal and grindcore band active since 2012, creating what they call serial killing snuff grind. Their prolific discography from Suffocation through Lessons in Murder and 2025's Gallery of Monsters delivers graphically extreme sonic brutality steeped in horror and true crime themes.
Finnish death metal and grindcore band from Tampere, formed in 2022. They deliver bashed-out death-grind from Finland's industrial heartland.
NWOBHM-era heavy metal band from Lichfield, originally formed in 1980 and splitting in 1984 after releasing a cult 7-inch single. Their compilation It's About Time surfaced through High Vaultage in 2005, and they reunited for Brofest festival appearances in 2013 and 2014 after nearly thirty years away.
Finnish psychedelic stoner/doom metal band from Kaustinen, formed in 2015. They conjure necromantic psychedelic doom from the folk music capital of Finland.
Three sisters from Stockholm, Greta, Stella, and Sunniva Bondesson, formed Baskery in 2007 and created a ferocious blend of Americana, folk, and punk rock that defies easy categorization. Their acoustic instrumentation belies a raw intensity that has more in common with punk shows than coffeehouse folk nights. The band's Swedish roots filtered through American roots music traditions create a transatlantic sound that's entirely their own.
French sludge/black metal band from Sainte-Jalle in Drôme, formed in 2015. They merge sludge metal's toxic weight with black metal's intensity from the Provençal countryside.
German experimental power/thrash metal band from Hamburg, formed in 2013. They push the boundaries of power and thrash metal with experimental arrangements and an unconventional approach.
Czech thrash metal band from Brno, formed in 2013. Their output channels classic thrash aggression with tight, riff-driven arrangements.
Helsingborg death metal act delivering crushing, no-frills Swedish death metal since 2014. Their sound mines the classic Stockholm and Gothenburg production aesthetics with a relentless, grinding intensity.
