Midas is a NWOBHM-inspired heavy metal band from London, England, formed in 2019. They channel classic British heavy metal traditions.
A heavy metal act from Mediglia near Milan, Middle Ages has been channeling medieval themes into classic metal since 2016. The band pairs historical subject matter with the kind of traditional metal approach that has defined European heavy metal for decades.
Lakewood, Ohio's Midevil blends heavy metal's melodic instincts with thrash's propulsive aggression, a combination the band has been refining since 2018. Their dual-genre approach gives them a range that lets them drive hard with speed when the moment calls for it and pull back into more classic heavy metal territory when the song demands it.
Midget in the Sink is a heavy and stoner metal act from Tampere with an irreverent streak reflected in their absurdist name. Active since 2010, the band delivers groove-laden, fuzz-heavy riffs with a loose, jammy energy.
Midland is a heavy and progressive metal band from Essen, Germany, formed in 2010. They blend traditional heavy metal weight with progressive arrangements and melodic sophistication.

Midnight is a heavy metal act from Valladolid in Castilla y León, active since 2011. The band delivers classic-style metal from the historic Castilian capital.
Midnight Bullet is a groove and heavy metal band from Mäntyharju, Finland, formed in 2012. They forge powerful groove-heavy metal from the Finnish lakeland.
San Francisco's Midnight Chaser have been delivering no-frills heavy metal since 2010, drawing from the blue-collar tradition of the genre without chasing trends. Their approach is direct and road-worn, built on riffs and hooks that feel pulled from the mid-tier circuit of the early '80s.
