Columbus, Ohio's Voidgazer formed in 2024, working in heavy metal and hard rock territory — a band grounded in traditional heavy metal songwriting rather than extreme subgenres, focused on building songs that carry actual weight without necessarily reaching for maximum brutality. Columbus has a long tradition of no-nonsense Midwestern rock and metal, and Voidgazer fit that lineage. A young band finding their footing in familiar but well-loved territory.
Boise's Voidstrider have been carving out a heavy/stoner metal niche since 2019 that also pulls freely from psychedelic rock — warm fuzz tones, riff-forward songwriting, and a loose cosmic swagger that keeps the music from feeling purely riff-mechanical. The heavy metal backbone gives their material more structure than most stoner acts, while the psychedelic rock influence keeps it from going fully headbanger. Idaho isn't overrun with bands doing this well.
Voltax is a heavy metal band from Mexico City, formed in 2006 under the name Voltage before settling on their current name. The band has released multiple full-lengths including their self-titled debut (2007), Fugitive State of Mind (2010), Hiding into Flames (2013), and No Retreat... You Surrender (2017), the last of which earned an 85% review on Metal Archives. Signed to Lastwarriorecords, Voltax describes their sound as pure and heavy metal with lyrical themes spanning fantasy, battles, and life.
Bursa's Volvox plays classic heavy metal from Turkey's fourth-largest city, channeling the spirit of traditional European metal through driving riffs and powerful vocals. Their straightforward, riff-driven approach reflects the enduring appeal of classic heavy metal in the Turkish scene.
Volymian is a melodic heavy metal/hard rock band from southern Finland, formed in 2016. They play accessible, melody-driven heavy metal and hard rock.
Formed in Las Vegas in 2022, Von Boldt bring heavy metal to a city whose neon spectacle and underlying desert desolation make for an unexpectedly fitting backdrop for the genre. Still early in their trajectory, they're building on traditional heavy metal foundations with the kind of earnest conviction that suggests the city's outsider reputation is actually a point of pride.
Formed in 2020 in Guilderland, New York, Vortex play heavy metal grounded in the hard-driving traditions of thrash with a no-frills, riff-first approach. The band leans into the kinetic energy of classic thrash while keeping the songwriting anchored in heavy metal's melodic instincts. Short on pretension and long on velocity, they represent the continuing vitality of the upstate New York metal underground.
Voyage is a heavy metal band from Hanau, Germany, formed in 2017. They play traditional heavy metal rooted in the classic European sound.
Kozelsk's VPproject merges groove metal's rhythmic punch with heavy metal's melodic sensibility, creating a hybrid that balances headbanging heaviness with accessible hooks. Their compositions draw from the Pantera-influenced school of groove-driven metal.
