Funeral doom metal duo from Helsinki, Finland — Sami Rautio and Jürgen Fröhling — formed in 2020 with releases including We Were Always Alone and Take the Step. Their glacially paced funeral doom explores themes of isolation and existential despair.
Atmospheric doom/post-metal band from Stockholm, Sweden, active since 2016. Named after the bizarre deep-sea fish, their approach channels oceanic depths through crushing doom and expansive post-metal.
Geneva-based death/black metal act forged in 2020, merging the rhythmic precision of death metal with the tonal hostility of black metal. Switzerland's French-speaking underground has long punched above its weight in extreme metal, and this project continues that tradition.
Symphonic/black metal band from Hyvinkää, Finland, with roots dating to 1999. Over two decades they have blended orchestral grandeur with the ferocity of Finnish black metal.
Belgian black metal project from Brussels, formed in 2021 and channeling raw hostility. Their name fuses concepts of oath and protection, signaling the guarded, ritualistic character of their black metal.
Black metal project from Kuopio, Finland, active since 2018. The project channels cold, hostile black metal from the heart of Finland's eastern lakeland.
Joensuu death metal/crust punk act from eastern Finland, active since 2014. Their surgical name pairs well with the clinical precision they bring to a style that merges death metal's technicality with crust's raw fury.
Amiens thrash metal act formed in 2019, representing Picardy's contribution to the French thrash revival. Their approach favors the genre's classic speed-and-aggression formula without unnecessary embellishment.
Thrash metal band from Lecco, Italy, active since 2009. Their long-running project delivers thrash from the shores of Lake Como in northern Italy.
