Los Angeles-based Ovterminus have been threading progressive ambition through death metal brutality since 2011, arriving at a sound that shifts between technical savagery and melodic architecture with deliberate purpose. Their melodic/progressive death metal draws on the Swedish tradition while adding an LA density — complex song structures that reward close listening without sacrificing the gut-punch.
Athens thrash/death metal act active since 2013, part of the Greek capital's diverse extreme metal underground. Over a decade they have delivered a punishing blend of thrash velocity and death metal weight.
Helsinki melodic death/groove metal/metalcore act active since 2014, blending three modern metal styles into an accessible but aggressive whole. A decade in Finland's capital has given them access to one of the country's most active metal communities.
Madrid death metal act formed in 2019, contributing to the Spanish capital's growing death metal underground. Their industrial-sounding name -- referencing oxy-fuel cutting -- matches the mechanical precision of their death metal approach.
Milan melodic death metal act active since 2013, part of Lombardy's capital's extensive metal community. Over a decade they have developed a style grounded in the Gothenburg melodeath tradition with Italian dramatic flair.
