Gdynia black metal act active since 2013, representing the Tri-City area's contribution to Poland's massive black metal scene. Over a decade of output from this Baltic port city has produced consistently hostile, underground-focused black metal.
Liverpool's Ogun delivers ripping thrash metal with the intensity and urgency of classic crossover, driven by rapid-fire riffing and shouted vocals. Their high-energy approach channels the relentless attack of early Exodus and Kreator.
Stoner/doom/sludge metal band from Ternopil, western Ukraine, formed in 2024. Their triple-genre approach delivers maximum heaviness from the Galician city.
Slam and brutal death metal band from France's Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes region, active since 2017. Their tongue-in-cheek name belies genuinely crushing slam death metal brutality.
Lemele extreme progressive metal/rock act from rural Overijssel, formed in 2022. Their small-village origins and genre-defying approach -- blending extreme metal with progressive rock sensibilities -- mark them as one of the Dutch underground's more unconventional acts.
Greater Poland black metal project active since 2016, channeling raw hostility from the Wielkopolska region. Their Polish name -- meaning 'abomination' -- signals the transgressive, boundary-pushing character of their output.
Belgian black/death metal band from Charleroi, active since 2009 and channeling Celtic pagan themes through extreme metal. Their Gaelic name adds a layer of ancient Celtic mysticism to their blackened death assault.
Toulon stoner/thrash metal act from the French Riviera, active since 2016. Their petroleum-tinged name suits a style that blends stoner rock's dirty grooves with thrash metal's velocity, all baked under the Provencal sun.
London-based Okami brings precision-guided thrash metal to the UK capital, combining technical riffing with aggressive tempos and tight rhythmic execution. Their polished yet ferocious sound sits at the intersection of classic thrash and modern metal production.
