Two-piece stoner punk outfit from Nottingham, conceived in 2024 and self-described as thunderous stoner punk. Their debut Mortal Engines EP blends stoner metal heaviness with garage rock energy and punk attitude across four tracks of crushing, groove-driven riffage.
Mława-based stoner metal outfit active since 2017, building their sound on thick, fuzz-drenched riffs and a laid-back, groove-heavy approach to heavy music. Their compositions channel the warmth of 1970s proto-metal through walls of modern distortion.
French progressive death metal band from Toulouse, formed in 2021. They push death metal into progressive territory from the pink city of Occitanie.
Czech black metal act from Brno, formed in 2015, whose sound has transitioned from black metal origins toward a doom metal and doom rock direction. Their evolution reflects a restless creative spirit within Brno's underground scene.
Heavy metal outfit from Groningen, formed in 2011. Their material channels the spirit of iron-fisted riffing and anthemic songwriting that has defined heavy metal since its inception.
Spanish deathcore band from Benidorm on the Costa Blanca, formed in 2010. They deliver crushing deathcore from the Mediterranean tourist resort.
Stoner metal band from Namur, Belgium, active since 2012. They deliver fuzz-drenched riffs and heavy grooves steeped in the stoner metal tradition.
