Horns of Venus were a metalcore and death metal band from São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2009 and active until their split. They released two full-length albums: "For the Pressure We Bring" (2009) and "We Are Not Buying Your Shit" (2011), the latter recorded at Bimini Studio in Jundiaí and Master Blaster Studios, blending death metal, grindcore, and melodic hardcore influences across 14 tracks.
Groove metal/metalcore band from Ferrol, Spain, formed in 2018. Their heavy, rhythm-driven crossover channels aggressive grooves from the Galician Atlantic coast.
Rising from Sicily in Italy, this thrash metal/metalcore outfit harnesses furious power since 2017. Tight, aggressive compositions built on speed and precision define their assault.
Amarillo, Texas's Hubris have been bringing metalcore's emotional intensity to the Texas Panhandle since 2015, where the flat horizon and punishing wind seem to breed a certain grim determination. Melodic but never soft.
Melodic death metal/metalcore band from Neuruppin, Germany, active since 2014. Their dynamic sound bridges Scandinavian-style melodic death metal with modern metalcore from Brandenburg.
Dutch metalcore project channeling vicious darkness since 2011. Their work contributes a distinctive voice to their regional underground scene.
Human Ruin is a groove metal/metalcore band from Tres Cantos, Spain, formed in 2013. They blend groove metal's rhythmic power with metalcore's aggressive dynamics.
Metalcore/death/thrash metal band from Schmalkalden, Germany, formed in 2020. Their genre-spanning approach merges metalcore breakdowns with death and thrash metal aggression from the Thuringian Forest.
Chicago thrash-metalcore band Hurtlocker formed in 1998 and released a series of demos before issuing Fear in a Handful of Dust (2005) and Embrace the Fall (2007) on Napalm Records. Their sound bridged the aggressive thrash metal of the Bay Area with the metalcore aggression prominent in the mid-2000s American heavy scene. The band has since dissolved, leaving behind a compact catalog that reflected the crossover moment between those two worlds.
