NWOBHM-influenced heavy metal and hard rock band from London active since 2010. White Noize revives the spirit of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal with classic dual-guitar harmonies and anthemic choruses.
Heavy metal band from Thessaloniki, Greece formed in 2020. Named after the city's iconic landmark, White Tower delivers traditional heavy metal with pride from Greece's northern capital.
Heavy metal band from South Tyneside, England with roots stretching back to 1986. White Vice represents one of the longest-running acts in the northeast English heavy metal underground.
White Void is a Norwegian hard rock project launched in 2020, led by Lars Nedland — keyboardist and vocalist of Borknagar and Solefald — with a lineup that includes Ihsahn drummer Tobias Solbakk. The band's debut Anti (2021) synthesized 1970s stoner rock, 1980s new wave, and hard rock into a streamlined, riff-forward sound that sidestepped the progressive ambitions of Nedland's other projects. Released through Nuclear Blast, the record drew comparisons to vintage occult rock while remaining rooted in direct, groove-driven songwriting.
Los Angeles's White Wizzard emerged in 2009 flying the flag for classic American heavy metal with a distinctly NWOBHM-influenced sound — twin guitar harmonies, galloping rhythms, and soaring vocals reminiscent of the Sunset Strip's hard-rock glory days filtered through an iron-clad metal sensibility. They've become one of the more prominent purists in the traditional heavy metal revival, earning a dedicated following among fans who want their metal uncut and unapologetically old-school.
Heavy metal and hard rock band from Königswinter, Germany formed in 2021. Whiterock blends the power of heavy metal with hard rock's accessibility, delivering riff-driven music from the Rhine region near Bonn.
Melodic heavy metal band from Calais, France active since 2018. Whiterose crafts accessible melodic heavy metal from the English Channel coast of northern France.
Forming in Los Angeles in 2024, Whoremones crash together hardcore's blunt-force aggression with heavy metal's commanding riffs into something confrontational and raw. Still freshly minted, this band represents the city's long tradition of cross-pollinating extreme subgenres into something harder to ignore than either alone.
Heavy metal band from Örebro, Sweden active since 2014. Whyte Ash channels the spirit of classic heavy metal from the central Swedish city.
