Stoner and doom metal band from Moscow, Russia, formed in 2011, delivering over a decade of heavy, prophetic stoner doom from the Russian capital. They are veterans of the Moscow stoner scene.
A 2020 German black metal project, Predictor deals in foretelling doom through tremolo-driven compositions and misanthropic atmospheres. Their anonymous approach — no listed location — adds to the mystery that feeds their occult-tinged aesthetic.
Goregrind band from Chester, England, formed in 2011, dealing in the most extreme and abrasive forms of grindcore. They bring over a decade of sonic violence to the northwestern English underground.
A 2025 project from the alpine resort town of Samedan, Prefix channels classic heavy metal and hard rock through the rarefied air of the Engadin valley. Their remote Graubünden setting makes them one of the most geographically isolated metal acts in Switzerland.
Bilbao's Puttorso has been grinding since 2014, delivering short bursts of grindcore fury from the Basque Country's largest city. Their punishing brevity and industrial Nervión-valley setting produce a sound as compact and explosive as the genre demands.
Tallinn's Pime — meaning 'darkness' in Estonian — has been conjuring black metal since 2010. Their native-language name roots them firmly in the Estonian tradition while their sound reaches toward the broader Scandinavian black metal aesthetic.
Psychedelic doom and stoner metal band from Pamplona, Spain, formed in 2016, conjuring ancient oceanic visions through hazy, heavy psychedelic doom. Their fantastical name matches the otherworldly nature of their stoner metal.
Osnabrück's Prehistoric War Cult has been channeling primal black-death metal fury since 2021, their name evoking rituals of ancient violence. Their Lower Saxon base provides a launching pad for compositions that sound unearthed from before civilization.
Madrid's Pact of Solitude has been weaving black and doom metal together since 2015, creating compositions that dwell in the loneliest corners of the Spanish extreme underground. Their capital-city base belies the isolation their name and sound evoke.
