Metallosis are a young act out of Calvin, Oklahoma, formed in 2024, blending the mechanical chug of groove metal with the velocity of thrash into a hybrid sound that hits with both rhythm and aggression. Their rural Oklahoma origins set them apart geographically from the usual metal hubs, giving the project an outsider edge.
Formed in Santos with a founding lineup of Marcus Vinicius on vocals, Fausto Pietro on drums, and Vinicius Guedes on guitar, Metallstein draw on old-school death metal, speed/thrash, and grindcore for a raw and uncompromising sound. The band released their self-titled debut single containing six tracks in early 2023 and have since appeared on the 'Workingclass In Roll – Brazilian Compilation' with the track 'Sonho Súbito'.
MetaVoid is a progressive/groove metal band from Augsburg, Germany, "tuning down to the core of the earth since 2014" with a sound compared to "Meshuggah but more cosmic." Their discography from "Parasymmetry" (2014) through "P4R45YMM37RY" (2025) delivers djent-influenced, rhythmically complex progressive death metal.
A southern/groove metal act from the Dalarna city of Borlänge, Methane has been delivering swampy, groove-laden compositions since 2021. The band channels the combustible energy of their gas name into thick, churning riffs.
Metopia is a melodic groove metal band from Munich, Germany, active since 2011. Their sound combines the mid-tempo heaviness and rhythmic power of groove metal with strong melodic hooks from the Bavarian capital.
Metralleta is a heavy/groove metal band from Larroque, Entre Ríos, a small city in eastern Argentina seldom represented in the local metal scene. Their recorded output includes the 2009 album Todo o Nada and the follow-up Puente, released on August 1, 2014, which features tracks such as "Cuando los muertos viven," "Vértigo," and "Victoria."

Pittsburgh's Microgutteral Fluctuation emerged in 2025 fusing death metal's grotesque heaviness with the mid-paced stomp of groove metal, a combination that hits with the force of a wrecking ball rather than a buzz saw. The project's name alone signals a taste for absurdist extremity, and the music backs it up with churning, body-moving riffs wrapped in guttural menace.
Midnight Bullet is a groove and heavy metal band from Mäntyharju, Finland, formed in 2012. They forge powerful groove-heavy metal from the Finnish lakeland.
