Ukrainian melodic death metal band from Kropyvnytskyi, crafting harmonic precision since 2020. Their wandering name evokes the searching, journey-like character of their melodeath compositions.
LASTELLE formed in Oxford in 2017 and built its sound around atmospheric post-hardcore, emotional dynamics, and wide-screen post-rock texture. The band's early singles, including "This Cage I Built Myself" and "The Rooms We Lived In," introduced a style that balanced fragile melodic passages with heavier crescendos and impassioned vocals. Harrow, released in 2019, helped define the group's identity: reflective, spacious, and intense without relying only on aggression. Later releases such as Delicate and the two-part Exist project expanded that approach with stronger cinematic pacing, layered guitars, and a more confident blend of clean vocals, screamed passages, and ambient detail. The lineup's use of drums and vocals as a dual emotional engine gives the songs a distinctive push, while the guitars often move between shimmering post-rock lines and heavier post-hardcore surges. LASTELLE's music is rooted in grief, memory, and human strain, but it avoids simple catharsis by building songs patiently, letting tension gather before breaking into large, melodic climaxes.
French thrash metal band from Angers, delivering relentless speed and aggression since 2017. Their sound channels classic thrash metal's razor-sharp riffing through the French underground.
Copenhagen-based act that evolved from shoegaze/post-rock beginnings in 2010 into atmospheric post-metal territory. Their sonic transformation traces a path from ethereal, dreamy textures to heavier, more expansive compositions.
Spanish melodic death metal/metalcore band from Plentzia, blending Scandinavian melodeath hooks with hardcore aggression since 2017. Their approach bridges melodic sophistication and breakneck heaviness.
Swedish raw black metal band from Trollhattan, active since 2009 and channeling lo-fi hostility through over a decade of underground commitment. Their provocative name adds transgressive edge to their raw black metal approach.
London-based sludge/post-metal band active since 2007, releasing their album 'Part Island' on Debemur Morti Productions. Their sound weaves emotive metallic power with dream-state vulnerability, combining melodic black metal, contemplative doom, and shoegaze with acoustic guitar, piano, and analogue synthesizer.
German thrash metal band from Ulm, active since 2013 with a sound rooted in classic thrash traditions. Their approach delivers the genre's characteristic speed, aggression, and razor-sharp riffing.
Swiss death metal act from Zurich with a long history stretching back to 1999 and an extensive discography. Their catalog spans numerous full-lengths and EPs, delivering consistent death metal brutality over more than two decades.
