The Barrel from Nice on the French Riviera deliver heavy and progressive metal with the explosive potential of their container-name — a powder barrel ready to blow — since 2013. Over a decade of Côte d'Azur-based metal has produced compositions of deceptive containment and sudden release.
The Beerbusters is a heavy metal band from Emden, Germany, formed in 2015. They play beer-fueled, party-oriented heavy metal from the East Frisian coast.
The Black from Pescara deliver heavy, doom, and progressive metal from the Abruzzo coast since 2016. A decade of darkened compositions from the Adriatic shore.
The Black Hounds from Wolverhampton deliver heavy and groove metal with the pack-hunting intensity their lupine name demands since 2015. A decade of compositions from the Black Country channels the region's legendary phantom-hound folklore.
The Black Lodge from Veneto deliver heavy and stoner metal named after the otherworldly realm from Twin Peaks since 2017. Their northeastern Italian base channels David Lynch's red-curtained nightmare through fuzz-drenched compositions.
Heavy metal band from Rio de Janeiro, founded in 2013 by vocalist Flavio Senra and guitarist Rubens Lessa, active until splitting up in 2017. The band released a self-titled debut album in April 2014, recorded and mixed at Kolera Studio in Rio de Janeiro, and appeared on the Warriors of Metal VII Festival compilation with the track "Checkmate."
The Blizzard from Milan deliver heavy and power metal with the storm-force intensity their wintry name demands since 2020. Their Lombardy base channels ice-storm ferocity through melodic compositions.
The Book from Brno play epic heavy metal with a literary conceptual edge, formed in 2020 and crafting ambitious, narrative-driven compositions. Their approach blends the grandeur of classic epic metal with storytelling ambition drawn from their bookish namesake.
The Breed from Cornwall deliver NWOBHM-influenced heavy metal from England's rugged Celtic southwest since 2016. Their Cornish coast setting provides a raw, windswept backdrop for their traditional British metal approach.
