Hamburg metalcore band formed in 2014, delivering breakdown-heavy aggression with melodic hooks from Germany's northern port city. Their sound represents the modern hardcore-adjacent side of Hamburg's diverse metal scene.

Metalcore band from Athens, active since 2015 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 characterize modern metalcore.
Dynamic Metalcore / Groove Metal out of Texas.
Stubbornly devoted to the riff, this groove metal and metalcore act from Kraków traffics in chugging, syncopated riffs built for maximum head-nodding impact. Since 2016, they've built a catalog that reflects Poland's relentlessly productive underground.
