Heavy metal band from Seinajoki, Finland, active since 2009. They forge classic heavy metal from the Ostrobothnian plains.
Cefem is a heavy metal band from Casilda, Santa Fe, Argentina, that released three recordings in quick succession: the album Historias Oscuras in April 2016, Pateando con el Rock n' Roll in September 2016, and Rictus Umbrio in November 2017. Their lyrical themes draw on myths, urban legends, and ancient literary sources, lending their straightforward heavy metal a distinctly eerie character. Tracks like "La Hija Malvada" and "El Farol del Diablo" from Rictus Umbrio showcase the band's appetite for dark storytelling within a classic Argentine metal framework.
Black-doom-heavy metal act from The Hague, active since 2012. Celesterre crafts atmospheric, multi-faceted metal that bridges black, doom, and traditional heavy metal traditions.
Celestial Tide from Frederick plays melodic, earnest heavy metal and power metal with a focus on strong hooks, clean vocal harmonies, and polished twin guitar arrangements that recall the classic American power metal tradition. Their Maryland roots place them in a region with a long tradition of melodic metal.
Progressive heavy metal band from Nordlingen, Germany, formed in 2016. They weave intricate progressive arrangements into a powerful heavy metal framework from the heart of Bavarian Swabia.
Celestial Wizard from Denver blends the occult heaviness of death metal with the anthemic grandeur of power metal and traditional heavy metal, producing a theatrical and heavy sound with equal parts brutality and melody. Colorado's high-altitude isolation lends the material a cosmic, expansive quality.
Heavy metal band from Tessenderlo, Belgium, active since 2014. They carry the torch of traditional heavy metal from the heart of Limburg, delivering classic riffs and powerful vocals in the European power metal tradition.
Cell-13 from Albuquerque combines the slow, oppressive weight of doom metal with the gritty, blues-influenced heaviness of traditional heavy metal, rooted in the Sabbathian tradition filtered through the desert Southwest. Their sound is measured and heavy, built on massive riff cycles and a smoldering atmosphere.
