Green Bay groove metal project from the Wisconsin underground.
Groove-infused death metal band from Minsk, Belarus, whose albums include "Black Depth Domain" (2015), "Супраць Сонца / Against the Sun" (2017), and "type: HUMAN – status: INCOMPATIBLE." The band merges chunky down-tuned riffing and death metal intensity with the rhythmic drive characteristic of groove metal.
Apomorph delivers groove and thrash metal from Krasnoyarsk since 2016. Named after the emetic drug apomorphine, their Yenisei River city compositions induce rhythmic nausea through heavy grooves and thrash velocity.
Apost channels thrash and groove metal with hardcore from the Cieszanów and Lubaczów area in the Subcarpathian region since 2023. From this rural borderland near Ukraine, they deliver high-energy metal with DIY hardcore spirit.
Apoteom is a groove metal band from Santa Maria, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, whose roots trace back to a project started in 2007 by guitarists Pedro Ferreira and Maurício Torres. The band evolved from a thrash-heavy debut, Alienation (2013), through the groove-forward Paper God (2016) and into their third album Beautiful Lies (2023), steadily building a reputation in the southern Brazilian metal circuit. Their current lineup has been working on a fourth record.
Ingleside, Illinois groove metal and melodic death metal hybrid whose 2013 debut Evolution of Reality blends Scandinavian melodeath with American groove sensibilities. A suburban Chicago act reaching for something beyond the ordinary.
Bethlehem deathcore project from the Pennsylvania underground.
April Weeps creates melodic groove and gothic metal from Dunajská Streda in the Žitný ostrov since 2013. From this Hungarian-majority town in Slovakia's Danube island region, they bring over a decade of tearful melodic compositions.
Arae delivers death metal, groove metal, and melodic death metal from the Loiret department since 2015, creating a multi-faceted extreme sound from the Centre-Val de Loire region. Their Latin name, meaning "altars," adds a sacrificial dimension to their heavy compositions.
