Moscow melodic death metal and metalcore band founded in 2014 by experienced musicians from various metal backgrounds. Each song is devoted to a specific science fiction novel — drawing from authors like Robert Sheckley, Silverberg, George Martin, and Frank Herbert — as heard on their debut EP 6 Fragments of Apocalypse.
Five-piece melodic thrash outfit from Belfast, Northern Ireland, formed in 2017 with releases including Rise. Their sound blends thrash metal's aggressive velocity with metalcore's dynamic structures and groove metal's rhythmic punch.
Death/thrash/groove metal and metalcore band from Copenhagen, formed in 2018 and delivering a versatile, multi-genre assault. Their direct, action-oriented name captures the immediate, aggressive energy of their sound.
When Kholm emerged in 2015 from Chełm, they brought with them a sound rooted in death metal, melodic death metal, and metalcore — all percussive blast-beat onslaughts and cavernous production. Low-tuned guitars and guttural vocals form the bedrock of their attack.
Navarre-based band from Berriozar that evolved from alternative rock/nu-metal origins in 2005 into melodic groove metal and metalcore territory. Their artistic evolution traces a path from late-'90s alternative heaviness to modern metalcore sophistication.
Death/thrash metal and metalcore band from Besancon in eastern France, active since 2015 and blending three aggressive styles. Their name adds a mysterious, otherworldly quality to their genre-crossing extremity.
Moscow-based project with roots dating to 2011, evolving from RAC/Oi! and black/pagan metal origins into a metalcore direction. Their stylistic shifts reflect a restless creative arc across multiple phases of extreme and aggressive music.
Melodic death metal and metalcore band from Reading, England, with roots stretching back to 1998, making them one of the longer-running acts in the UK's melodic extreme metal scene. Their sound bridges the Gothenburg melodic death metal tradition with metalcore's dynamic song structures.
Metalcore band from Stevenage in Hertfordshire, active since 2014 and delivering the genre's signature blend of hardcore aggression and metal precision. Their sound features the dynamic shifts between heavy breakdowns and melodic passages that define modern metalcore.
