Athens, GR · 2024–present · active
The Brightly Shining Sea is an experimental/progressive metal band from Athens, formed in 2024. Their luminous, maritime name sets the tone for progressive metal that explores atmospheric and experimental territory.
Moravian-Silesian Region, CZ · 2020–present · active
The Broadsword hail from the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic, delivering straight, catchy heavy metal and hard rock driven by female vocals since 2020. Their albums "The Doom Generation" and "The Broadsword Hotel" showcase a direct, hook-driven approach that prioritizes accessibility and melodic power.
London, GB · 2014–present · active
The Brood from London deliver a caustic blend of death metal, grindcore, and punk since 2014. Over a decade of parasitic compositions — named after Cronenberg's body-horror film — has produced chaotic, genre-defying extremity.
London, GB · 2017–present · active
The Brothers Keg from London deliver stoner, doom, and sludge metal with the beer-barrel camaraderie their pub-culture name demands since 2017. Their compositions pair fuzz-drenched heaviness with the fraternal bonding of a good session at the local.
GB · 1997–present · active
The Bug is the primary alias of English producer and musician Kevin Martin, who launched the project in 1997 on the Wordsound label and has spent decades synthesizing industrial noise, dub, dancehall, grime, and hip-hop into a singular and confrontational body of work. London Zoo (2008) on Ninja Tune — featuring vocalists including Tippa Irie and Warrior Queen — is widely regarded as the project's definitive statement, capturing the paranoia of surveillance-saturated urban Britain through crushing bass weight and warped reggae rhythms. Martin has also worked extensively with Godflesh's Justin Broadrick under various collaborative names, and his influence on UK bass music and industrial hip-hop has been considerable.
DE · 2008–present · active
Based in Nuremberg, Germany, and active since 2008, The Bulletmonks deal in a swaggering brand of blues-drenched hard rock that critics have described as 'Mosh 'n' Roll,' drawing comparisons to AC/DC, Airbourne, and The Answer. Their debut album Weapons of Mass Destruction (2009) received solid reviews and led to support slots with WASP, UFO, and Volbeat, as well as a co-headline slot at Hamburg's Welt Astra Tag Festival in front of tens of thousands. Though the band went quiet after 2016, they remained a respected name in the European hard rock underground.
Granollers, ES · 2012–present · active
The Burial Chamber from Granollers near Barcelona deliver metalcore from the Catalan industrial belt since 2012. Over a decade of output, their sepulchral name has driven compositions that balance aggressive breakdowns with the melodic sensibility of the Barcelona satellite scene.
Aarhus, DK · 2007–present · active
The Burning from Aarhus have been delivering a potent fusion of groove, death, and thrash metal since 2007, making them one of the longest-running extreme metal acts in Denmark's second city. Nearly two decades of output have cemented their reputation for riff-heavy, genre-blending aggression.
Bologna, IT · 2010–present · active
The Burning Dogma from Bologna blend gothic metal with melodic death metal since 2010. Over fifteen years of heresy-consuming compositions from the Emilian university city — where the oldest university in the Western world resides.
