French groove/heavy metal band from Nantes, delivering riff-heavy, rhythmically punishing music since 2010. Their Lebowski-inspired name signals a laid-back attitude that belies the crushing weight of their groove metal.
German death/black metal act from Wilhelmshaven, merging death metal's visceral brutality with black metal's atmospheric menace since 2011. Their sound occupies the aggressive intersection where both extreme genres collide.
Swedish symphonic progressive metal band from Gothenburg, formed in 2023. Based in Sweden's metal capital, their sound layers orchestral grandeur over technically intricate prog metal frameworks.
