Syracuse, New York groove metal project whose cinematic name evokes a wartime heist film. Upstate New York heaviness with Hollywood flair.
DeLand, Florida death metal and groove hybrid. The alcohol-percentage name suggests music best consumed at full strength from the Central Florida springs region.
Prairieville, Louisiana groove metal and Southern heavy rock outfit. Bayou-bred heaviness with a name as slimy and slow as the creature it references.
A Billion Limbs delivers death metal, deathcore, and groove metal from Southend-on-Sea since 2014, bringing a writhing mass of extremity to the Essex coast. Their grotesque name captures the overwhelming, many-armed assault of their sound.
A melodic death and groove metal five-piece from Duisburg, A Bond Between formed in early 2021 and released their debut EP Of Light & Suffering in October 2022. The band's lyrics confront inner conflict, depression, and societal pressure, delivered through a combination of guttural and clean vocals over melodic, groove-heavy riffing.
A Day to Fall is a groove metal and melodic death metal project formed in 2011 with Argentine musicians, releasing the album Architects of Hate along with tracks such as Southern Flame and What Lies Ahead. The band blends melodeath intensity with metalcore-driven heaviness, drawing on the members' roots in the Argentine underground scene.
Minneapolis groove metal project. The name's imagery of burning aspirations channels Midwestern frustration through rhythmically driven heaviness.
A Goat as Our Shepherd are a Belgian death metal band operating across the groove and melodic death metal spectrum, releasing music under the agaos Bandcamp imprint. Their sound favours heavy rhythmic riffing and dynamic mid-paced passages drawn from the American groove-death tradition, with melodic lead work that softens the edges of an otherwise punishing approach.
Philadelphia groove metal pioneers who helped define the metallic hardcore sound of the mid-2000s. One of the most influential heavy bands to emerge from the Philly scene.
