ME262 is a NWOBHM-inspired heavy metal band from London, England, formed in 2017. They channel the spirit of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal through classic, riff-driven compositions.
Denver's Mead Thief blend heavy doom with the muscle of classic heavy metal, evoking mile-high altitude and long, barren stretches of highway in equal measure. Since forming in 2020, the band has leaned into slow, crushing riffs anchored by a traditional songwriting sensibility that keeps the hooks in reach.
Hailing from Westchester County, New York, Meanstreak occupy the crossroads of power, thrash, and old-school heavy metal — a hybrid sound that nods to the 1980s New York scene without getting lost in nostalgia. Their catalog moves between the melodic ambition of power metal and the raw, club-ready aggression of early thrash.
Mech is a Warsaw-based act that evolved from rock to heavy metal, active since 2014. The band channels the mechanical energy of their name into driving, riff-heavy compositions.
Mechanix is a heavy/thrash metal band from Nuremberg, Germany, active since 2005. Their two decades of output reflect a deep commitment to the aggressive, precision-driven thrash metal tradition that Franconia's underground has cultivated.
California's Medallion have carried the torch for traditional heavy metal since 2015, channeling the spirit of twin-guitar melody and thunderous rhythm into material that sounds both timeless and immediate. Their work suggests a deep reverence for the genre's foundational era filtered through contemporary precision.
MedictuM is a heavy/thrash metal band from Seville, Spain, blending classic heavy metal lines with thrash rawness and death metal darkness. Their 2022 album 'Juego de Sombras' features eight tracks of socially conscious, psychologically tormented metal with guest vocals from Héctor Velasco of Mortal Maze.
A heavy metal act from the port city of Piraeus near Athens, Medoyssa has been delivering classic metal since 2014. The band draws from the mythological Medusa, matching the ancient Greek theme with driving, traditional riffs.
Seattle's Medusa have been working the traditional heavy metal vein since 2013, delivering the kind of riff-forward, unadorned songcraft that lets the songs breathe without apology. In a city better known for grunge and stoner rock, they cut against the grain with conviction.
