Norfolk, Virginia's Moment of Violence charge forward with a groove and thrash hybrid that pairs headbang-worthy riff momentum with a raw, street-level aggression, active since 2024.
Monedula is a melodic death/groove metal act from Örebro, formed in 2023. Named after the jackdaw bird, the band delivers rhythmically charged melodeath from central Sweden.
Monox is a groove and death metal band from Rijeka, Croatia, formed in 2015. They blend groove metal's rhythmic power with death metal's ferocity from the Croatian coast.
Groove metal out of Yonkers, New York since 2007, Monster X bring downtuned, mid-tempo heaviness to a Hudson Valley city with blue-collar grit built into the sound — infectious rhythm, thick riffs, and a hard-hitting attitude.
Out of Longview, Texas, Monthra have been fusing groove and thrash metal since 2017 with the kind of knuckle-dragging momentum and snapping riff patterns that fit the East Texas industrial corridor they come from.
San Jose's Montra formed in 2011 and blend groove metal and thrash with a hardcore backbone, bringing the Bay Area's deep punk and metal cross-pollination tradition to bear on aggressive, pit-ready material.
A Buffalo, New York heavy metal band formed in 2021, Monument began in the city's storied tradition of hard, guitar-driven music and have since evolved toward a harder rock sensibility while retaining their metal roots.
A groove/nu-metal act from the border town of Zgorzelec, Moonveil formed in 2026. The band delivers heavy, rhythmically driven compositions from Poland's western frontier.
Out of Gulfport, Mississippi, Moose have been serving up Southern-flavored sludge metal since 2017 — grinding slow and heavy with the humidity-soaked aggression you'd expect from the Gulf Coast.
