Alessio Giacomi creates groove and progressive metal as a solo project from Italy since 2021, blending rhythmic heaviness with compositional complexity. The project serves as a vehicle for one musician's vision of technically sophisticated, riff-centered metal.
Solo groove metal project from Cumming, Georgia. A minimal-output bedroom project in the earliest stages of development.
Rochester, New York thrash metal project. Roswell mythology meets Western New York speed metal.
San Antonio thrash-turned-groove metal band active since 2014. Their evolution from raw thrash to heavier groove metal mirrors the classic trajectory of many Texas metal acts, with four releases documenting the shift.
Alkatraz delivers groove and thrash metal from Katowice since 2012. Named after the infamous prison, their Upper Silesian sound carries the confined, pressure-cooked aggression of their namesake.
Operating from the Andalusian town of Montilla since 2013, Alkhemit fuses groove and thrash metal into a hard-hitting blend built on chunky riffs and punishing rhythms. Their sound draws from the volatile chemistry between Pantera-style groove and Bay Area thrash aggression.
Granada's All iN Mind pairs Olga Rock's clean vocals with Joseph Ghard's guttural growls over stylish, varied alternative metal compositions. Their latest work "Decisions, Consequences" showcases a band comfortable weaving melodic hooks into crushing heaviness.
All Is Dust merges death metal, deathcore, and groove metal from the Norman capital of Rouen since 2017, creating a nihilistic blend of modern extreme styles. Their apocalyptic name captures the devastation at the core of their sound.
Allfather merges doom, groove, and sludge metal from the Medway towns in Kent since 2014, named after the Norse supreme deity Odin. Over a decade of crushing, multi-genre heaviness from the Thames estuary speaks to deep roots in the southeast's underground.
