Thrash metal band from Rieti in central Italy's Lazio region, active since 2008. Nearly two decades of thrash from the Sabine hills represent exceptional longevity.
Bergamo thrash metal/hardcore act from Lombardy, active since 2012. Over a decade in the shadow of the Alps, they have refined a style that draws equally from thrash metal's technical aggression and hardcore's raw directness.
Legnica heavy metal act from Lower Silesia, active since 2016. Their straightforward traditional metal approach channels the unadorned, no-nonsense character of this former garrison town in southwestern Poland.
Pavia melodic groove metal act from Lombardy, active since 2016. Their approach pairs groove metal's rhythmic physicality with melodic hooks, creating an accessible but heavy style suited to their university-town origins.
Outland Hill operates as a secretive French black metal project, channeling isolation and misanthropy into raw, atmospheric compositions. Their stripped-down approach emphasizes mood and texture over technical display.
Gateshead's Outlast the Sun brings crossover thrash energy to the northeast of England, fusing hardcore punk's urgency with thrash metal's technical riffing. Their high-speed attack channels the circle-pit intensity of Municipal Waste and Power Trip.
Lappeenranta heavy metal act from southeastern Finland, active since 2016. Their name and straightforward traditional metal approach channel the rebellious, boundary-defying spirit that heavy metal has carried since its inception.
Heraklion death metal act from the island of Crete, active since 2016. Their Mediterranean island setting provides an unlikely but atmospherically rich backdrop for their brand of uncompromising death metal.
Worcester's Outrun the Day generates thick, fuzz-laden stoner metal grooves that lumber with satisfying heaviness. Their riff-worshipping approach channels the psychedelic heaviness of Orange Goblin and Brant Bjork.
