A solo darkwave and ambient project launched in Dallas, Texas in 2007 by Proscriptor McGovern, the drummer and vocalist best known from occult black metal act Absu.

A Los Angeles heavy metal outfit formed in 2017, Prowler draw on the melodic, leather-and-chrome aesthetic of traditional metal — clean vocals, galloping rhythms, and guitar work that nods to the NWOBHM and American power metal bands that ruled the Sunset Strip era. Their music rewards fans who prize craft and songcraft over extreme noise.
Nordenham's Pryer delivers melodic heavy metal from Germany's North Sea coast, where the Weser River meets the ocean. Their maritime Lower Saxon setting infuses their anthemic sound with the wide-open energy of the Butjadingen peninsula.
Jacksonville, Florida's Pseudocidal have been grinding out heavy, mid-tempo groove metal since 2013, leaning into the thick, down-tuned riffing and rhythmic swagger that defines the American groove scene.
Barcelona's Psychic Terror Cult has been combining black, death, and thrash metal into a triple-threat assault since 2014. Their Catalan base and occult-referencing name promise ritualistic extremity delivered with crossover versatility.
