Ufa-based death metal/grindcore outfit active since 2016, blasting through short, ferocious compositions that marry death metal's low-end churn with grindcore's frenetic speed. Their music operates at maximum intensity with minimal patience for subtlety.
Death/thrash outfit from Fano (Pesaro and Urbino), formed in 2011. Their sound channels the raw energy of 1980s thrash through death metal's heavier lens, pairing aggressive vocals with riff-centric compositions.
Gostyń-based death metal act active since 2018, 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.
Thrash, black, and death metal band from Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, formed in 2021. They channel the darkness of the Balkans through a volatile fusion of three extreme metal subgenres.
Czech heavy metal band from Nechanice, formed in 2012. They play straightforward traditional heavy metal rooted in the Czech underground.
Moscow-based black metal act active since 2019, channeling the genre's core tenets of tremolo-driven riffing and blast-beat fury through a Russian lens. Their recordings maintain a commitment to the raw, unvarnished aesthetic that defines underground black metal.
Filth-encrusted raw black metal from Moscow, forged in 2018. Intentionally abrasive production values serve as a weapon, wrapping venomous riffs and shrieked vocals in a blanket of corrosive static.
Stoner doom act from Stockholm, built on monolithic riffs. Their music moves at a glacial pace through layers of fuzz and psychedelic textures, inviting the listener into a trance-like state of heavy meditation.
Warsaw-based groove metal act active since 2026, anchoring their sound in mid-tempo, syncopated riffing designed to generate maximum physical impact. Their chunky, headbang-inducing compositions channel the spirit of Pantera and Lamb of God.
