Kraków-based crossover thrash act active since 2020, smashing together thrash metal's riff-driven velocity with punk's stripped-down aggression and DIY ethos. Their short, sharp compositions hit with the impact of a circle pit in a phone booth.
Finnish melodic death metal band from Kerava, formed in 2019. They deliver melodic death metal from the Uusimaa region near Helsinki.
Spanish death metal and grindcore band from San Juan de la Rambla on Tenerife, formed in 2013. They deliver psychedelic-tinged death-grind from the volcanic Canary Islands.
Melodic death metal outfit from Poznań, formed in 2016. Twin-guitar harmonies and soaring lead work temper the brutality of blast beats and growled vocals, creating compositions that are both punishing and anthemic.
Post-depressive black metal project formed in London in late 2024 by Der Abt. Their debut In The Middle Of Chaos blends sorrowful guitar riffs with ambient tones and desperate vocals, exploring sadness, regret, and guilt through slow-paced atmospheric black metal.
Spanish black/death metal band from Tarragona, active since 2007. They channel frost-bitten black/death metal from the sunlit Catalan coast, creating a stark contrast of sound and setting.
German power metal band from Syrgenstein, formed in 2023. They deliver soaring power metal anthems with the epic grandeur the genre demands.
Trenčín-based black metal act active since 2022, channeling the genre's core tenets of tremolo-driven riffing and blast-beat fury through a Slovak lens. Their recordings maintain a commitment to the raw, unvarnished aesthetic that defines underground black metal.
