A heavy metal act from Łomża in northeastern Poland, Midnight Thunder has been delivering powerful compositions since 2020. The band channels the nocturnal storm energy of their name into classic metal.
Tampa's Midnight Vice came together in 2023 and play heavy metal rooted in the sleazy, strutting tradition of the genre — the kind of music that still believes in leather jackets and late nights. The city's storied metal history looms large but Midnight Vice carve their own lane in the classic mold.

Midway is a heavy/power metal act from Pesaro on the Adriatic coast, active since 2012. The band delivers melodic, anthemic compositions from the Marche region.
Furious Heavy / Thrash Metal from Austin.
Nashville's Mij Sugen formed in 2018 at the intersection of heavy metal, speed metal, and neoclassical shred — a combination that puts technical guitar playing front and center without sacrificing the propulsion of the underlying metal framework. The project draws equally from the fretboard athleticism of the shred era and the song-driven sensibility of traditional heavy metal.
