Blood Fetish is a goregrind project from the university city of Szeged, formed in 2022. The project delivers short, grotesque bursts of extreme music rooted in the most visceral traditions of grindcore.
A one-man progressive melodic doom metal project from Zonhoven in Limburg, founded in 2018, Marrowlands draws on the atmospheric and melodic traditions of Draconian, Opeth, Trees of Eternity, and My Dying Bride to craft entirely instrumental compositions. The project remains unsigned and independent, releasing material directly through Bandcamp.
Marrowrend is a stoner/doom metal act from Saint Petersburg, active since 2021. The band delivers bone-crushing, marrow-extracting doom from Russia's cultural capital.

Martyrdom have spent decades honing a suffocating brand of death/doom rooted in occult and ancient civilizations imagery, with slow, mournful riffs giving way to cavernous death metal blasts. After a 1997 demo and years of obscurity, they released the EP "Culto Primitivo à Morte" in 2017 and their debut full-length "Ritual Místico de Adoração à Sabedoria Ancestral" in 2018, recorded at Netuno Estúdio and mixed in Montreal.
Martyrdoom is a death/doom metal band from Warsaw, Poland, formed in 2017. They craft crushing doom-death compositions steeped in oppressive heaviness.
Martyrium wove Gothic and Doom Metal together with lyrics drawing on literature, fantasy, and Thelemic philosophy, bringing a distinctly introspective and melancholic tone to the Minas Gerais underground. The band, whose Bandcamp release "Abandon Hope" captures their brooding sound, was short-lived, splitting up not long after forming in the early 2000s.
A groove metal and metalcore act from Budapest, Bloodiest has been delivering rhythmically driven aggression since 2011. The band pairs heavy grooves with metalcore breakdowns.
