Portland groove metal outfit formed in 2019, Kingdom Under Fire brings the Pacific Northwest's heaviness to a style rooted in down-tuned riffs and rhythmic punch. Their sound channels the city's legacy of weighty, hard-hitting metal into driving, head-down groove.
Kinoglass is an experimental thrash/groove metal trio from Presidente Prudente, São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2020, comprising Luis Farrús (bass/vocals), Fernando Volpin (guitars/keyboards), and Guilherme Sala (drums). They released the nine-track album A Man With A Camera in March 2020, followed by Se A Carapuça Servir in February 2024, with both records blending thrash aggression with psychedelic and avant-garde influences rooted in 1970s heavy rock. Their lyrical themes address social criticism, anti-fascism, and personal struggle.
Stoner/groove metal project from Finland, formed in 2017 with a Finnish name meaning "stoned Satan." Their irreverent name captures the intersection of psychedelic stoner grooves and heavy metal blasphemy.
When KLL emerged in 2011 from Trento, they brought with them a sound rooted in groove metal — all thick, muscular guitar tone married to body-moving rhythms. The combination of influences yields something more interesting than any single genre label implies.
Marietta, Ohio's KLNZR has been grinding out industrial-inflected heavy and groove metal since 2011. The band weaponizes mechanical texture and hammering rhythms, giving their sound a machine-shop rawness that fits the working-class Ohio River Valley well.
Progressive groove metal band from Poitiers that evolved into broader progressive metal/rock territory since forming under this name in 2016. Their shapeshifting, clone-referencing name matches their constant artistic evolution and refusal to stay in one place.
Named for the Fate who spins the thread of life, Ocala, Florida's Klothos has been weaving heavy and groove metal since 2020. Their mid-Florida origins lend a sun-bleached brutishness to a sound built on locked-in grooves and swinging, aggressive riffwork.
Southern/groove metal band from Wetzlar in Hesse, active since 2010 and channeling the swaggering heaviness of American southern metal through a German lens. Their groove-driven sound pairs thick riffs with a bluesy, hard-rocking attitude.
Groove/death metal band from Dundee, Scotland, active since 2015 and named after the infamous Star Trek no-win scenario. Their sound merges death metal's extremity with groove metal's rhythmic crunch.
