When Evilnasty emerged in 2015 from Varese, they brought with them a sound rooted in black metal — all frigid atmospherics and razor-wire guitar tone. Blast beats and shrieked vocals create an impenetrable wall of darkness.
Death/thrash metal band from Toulouse, France active since 2013. They deliver fierce extreme metal from southern France.
Black metal and speed metal band from Lappeenranta, Finland active since 2013. They fuse the raw aggression of black metal with the velocity of speed metal from southeastern Finland.
Part of the Gothenburg school's homeland, this act channels death metal and folk metal with a focus on traditional folk melodies woven into heavy metal frameworks. Formed in 2017, based in Arvika, every recording pushes a little further into uncharted sonic territory.
Black metal project from Alfeld (Leine) in Lower Saxony, Germany, channeling dark lordship through raw compositions since 2021. Their name merges evil and nobility, reflecting the aristocratic darkness of their black metal.
Varese-based heavy metal act, active since 2019 delivering galloping rhythms and fist-pumping anthems. Rooted in the Mediterranean peninsula's diverse metal ecosystem, melody and muscle share equal billing in their compositions.
Heavy metal and thrash band from Spain, formed in 2018. They deliver raw, uncompromising metal with a speed-driven edge.
Rome, Italy — heavy metal of the most uncompromising kind. Active since 2012, they deal in Maiden-esque gallops and Priest-inspired vocal histrionics. They play metal the way it was meant to be: loud, proud, and unfiltered.
Ukrainian black metal and thrash metal act, active since 2015 delivering dissonant chord progressions shrouded in reverb-drenched malice. Rooted in one of Eastern Europe's most resilient metal scenes, atmosphere and hostility share equal billing in their work.
