Die Apokalyptischen Reiter is a genre-defying band from Apolda/Weimar, Germany, active since 2003, whose sound evolved from death/folk metal into a massive blend of heavy, groove, and folk metal with rock. They are one of Germany's most adventurous and long-running metal acts.
Die Ego is a heavy and doom metal band from London, formed in 2018, who describe their sound as deliberately non-modern and non-commercial. Their discography includes the albums 74 Days Staring at the Void and Culto, as well as the demo Songs for the Insanity.
Die No More is a thrash and heavy metal band from Carlisle, England, active since 2006 with a catalog spanning three releases including Fragmetal (2006), Black Cash (2009), and their self-titled album (2017). Their independent output channels classic thrash energy across a decade of self-released material on Bandcamp.
A Viennese darkwave and neoclassical project founded in 1993 by Richard Lederer (Protector) and Michael Gregor (Silenius) of the black metal band Summoning. Their music consists entirely of keyboards and vocals — drawing on poets John Dowland and Percy Bysshe Shelley — and their third album 'In Darkness Let Me Dwell' (1999) was released via Napalm Records.
Diego Sanjorge is a heavy metal artist from Ourense, Spain, active since 2017. They deliver classic heavy metal from the Galician interior.

Digger is a heavy/groove metal band from Stříbro, Czech Republic, active since 2010. They deliver thick, punishing grooves and heavy riffs with a down-tuned, crushing approach.
Pittsburgh's DiGregorio bring a gothic heaviness to traditional metal, blending the two threads into something moody and atmospheric since their 2020 formation. The Steel City's industrial history haunts the band's sound — dramatic, heavy, and carrying the weight of a place that has never done anything halfway.
