Black and death metal band from Novi Sad, Serbia, formed in 2013, named after the demonic entity. They deliver over a decade of blackened death metal from the Serbian cultural capital.
Melodic groove metal band from the United Kingdom, formed in 2020, delivering accessible yet heavy groove metal with melodic hooks. They bring rhythmic heaviness to the British metal underground.
A 2023 black-death metal project from Fredericia, Perdition's Mire drags listeners into the swamp of damnation implied by their name. Their eastern Jutland setting — a historic fortress town — provides a militaristic edge to their extreme sonic assault.
Groove and death metal band from Belgorod, Russia, formed in 2025, delivering full-bore metallic punishment from the western Russian border city. They represent the newest wave of Russian extreme metal.
Horsens' Persecutor blends metalcore dynamics with thrash metal's velocity since 2020, representing the east Jutland city's contribution to Danish extreme metal. Their crossover approach bridges the gap between two of the genre's most pit-friendly styles.
Dithmarschen's Pain Machine has been welding together thrash, death, and groove metal since 2012, creating a triple-threat assault from the North Frisian marshlands. Their genre-blending approach produces a sound heavier than any single style could achieve alone.
A 2021 Danish project trading in raw black-death metal filth, Pestiferous strips the genres to their most primitive essence. Their anonymous location adds to the mystery surrounding their deliberately lo-fi, cavernous approach.
Brutal death metal and goregrind band from Szczecin, Poland, active since 1997, making them one of the longest-running extreme metal acts in the Pomeranian region. Nearly three decades of brutality mark them as veterans.
A 2021 Danish thrash-punk crossover project, Pestigor channels the DIY energy of crust punk through a thrash metal framework. Their hybrid approach recalls the glory days of '80s crossover when the boundaries between punk and metal were at their most porous.
