Swiss melodic death metal/metalcore band from Lausanne, combining harmonic precision with hardcore aggression since 2017. Their name suggests the boundary-breaking, transgressive character of their approach.
Kaluga melodic death metal act formed in 2024, the newest addition to this central Russian city's growing extreme metal output. Their approach applies Scandinavian melodeath conventions with a distinctly Russian melodic sensibility.
Belarusian melodic death metal/deathcore hybrid from Minsk with roots reaching back to 2007, making them among the older extreme metal acts still active in the country. Their sound has evolved over nearly two decades from raw deathcore toward more melodically refined territory.
Helsinki melodic death/groove metal/metalcore act active since 2014, blending three modern metal styles into an accessible but aggressive whole. A decade in Finland's capital has given them access to one of the country's most active metal communities.
Milan melodic death metal act active since 2013, part of Lombardy's capital's extensive metal community. Over a decade they have developed a style grounded in the Gothenburg melodeath tradition with Italian dramatic flair.
