Develop is a heavy metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden, formed in 2013. The project delivers classic heavy metal from the west coast.
Philadelphia's Deviance arrived in 2021 with a no-nonsense approach to traditional heavy metal, pulling from the deep well of classic metal that the city's scene has always respected. Their sound is direct and unadorned — built on riffs, hooks, and the conviction that the old ways still work.
Devil Across plays heavy metal from Lisbon, active since 2021 and delivering traditional heavy metal with an infernal edge from Portugal's capital. Their name suggests the devil crossing boundaries — physical or moral — which carries into riff-driven compositions that push against convention.
Hailing from Santa Rosa in the Texas Hill Country, Devil Beheaded have been conjuring their blackened heavy/thrash assault since 2014. The band's sound sits at a nasty crossroads — the feral swagger of old-school thrash corrupted by the cold menace of black metal.
Boston's Devil on Horseback have been riding the line between classic heavy metal and hard rock since 2015, channeling the Puritan edge of New England into music built around swagger, riffs, and atmosphere. Their sound is rooted in the traditions of the genre but worn like well-broken leather.
Devil Unnamed is a heavy metal band from the Brunswick/Peine area of Lower Saxony, active since 2019 and dealing in the classic heavy metal currency of powerful riffs and commanding vocals. Their refusal to name the devil suggests a reverence for mystery and the unknown within traditional metal.
DevilInside is a heavy/thrash metal band from Nancy, France, emerging in 2025. They deliver inner-demon-fueled heavy/thrash from Lorraine.
Devils Diner is a heavy metal band from Ingolstadt in Bavaria, active since 2015 and serving up hearty portions of riff-driven traditional metal. Their roadhouse-meets-hell imagery lends a working-class, blue-collar character to classic heavy metal.
Devils Henchmen is a heavy/thrash metal band from Liverpool, England, formed in 2020. They serve the devil through heavy/thrash metal from Merseyside.
