London thrash metal, crossover, and crust band formed in 2017. They fuse the speed and aggression of thrash with crust punk's raw, politically charged energy.
Palermo-based brutal death metal outfit active since 2019, delivering relentless blastbeat-driven punishment and guttural vocal extremity. Their compositions trade in the genre's heaviest currency: slamming breakdowns, inhuman vocals, and wall-to-wall brutality.
German black metal band from Schleswig-Holstein, formed in 2018. They channel cold, northern black metal from Germany's most northerly state.
Budapest-based melodic death metal act active since 2013, threading harmonized guitar leads and memorable hooks through aggressive, double-bass-driven arrangements. Their approach balances accessibility with genuine heaviness, drawing from the Gothenburg tradition.
Nybro-based black metal act active since 2020, channeling the genre's core tenets of tremolo-driven riffing and blast-beat fury through a Swedish lens. Their recordings maintain a commitment to the raw, unvarnished aesthetic that defines underground black metal.
Filth-encrusted raw black metal from Gävle, forged in 2015. Intentionally abrasive production values serve as a weapon, wrapping venomous riffs and shrieked vocals in a blanket of corrosive static.
Melodic death metal outfit from Lund, formed in 2018. Twin-guitar harmonies and soaring lead work temper the brutality of blast beats and growled vocals, creating compositions that are both punishing and anthemic.
Cold, unrelenting black metal from Cesena/Forlì, active since 2021. Their sound embodies the genre's core principles: razor-sharp tremolo picking, furious drumming, and an atmosphere thick with hostility and darkness.
Atmospheric black metal project from Prague, formed in 2021. Their releases including Blitzkrieg and Curse of Mind channel dark, immersive black metal with an atmospheric edge.
