Heavy metal band from Vilanova i la Geltru on Catalonia's coast, delivering classic metal since 2015. Their Basque-influenced name adds regional identity to their approach to traditional heavy metal.
Heavy and power metal outfit from Austria's Kapfenberg/Bruck an der Mur region, forging a sound that blends muscular riffing with anthemic melodies since 2015. Their Bandcamp catalog showcases a commitment to the classic European power metal tradition with a heavier edge.
Heavy metal and hard rock act from Muskiz in the Basque Country, Spain, formed in 2023. Their name, meaning "The Year of the Caiman" in Spanish, adds a reptilian menace to their classic metal and rock approach.
Nässjö's metal underground has produced no shortage of heavy acts, and this heavy metal and stoner metal unit is among them — wielding wah-soaked leads and bass-heavy grooves in the tradition of Kyuss and Sleep. Uncompromising in their vision, they deliver exactly what their audience demands.
Augusta, Georgia's El Diablo Ninos have been delivering straightforward heavy metal with a mean streak since 2015. Classic genre values — big riffs, direct songwriting, and live-room energy — anchor everything they do.
A Seattle-based act drawing on the rough junction between heavy metal and punk since 2011, El Duce has been cultivating a hard-edged, stripped-down sound in a city better known for entirely different musical traditions. Loud, simple, and aggressive.
NWOBHM-inspired heavy metal band from London, England active since 2013. They carry the torch of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal tradition.
Stuttgart-based act that evolved from alternative/hard rock into melodic heavy metal and hard rock since 2018. Their stylistic evolution reflects a natural progression toward heavier, more muscular songwriting from Germany's automotive capital.
