Ameks delivers melodic death metal and metalcore from Moscow since 2013. Over a decade in the Russian capital, they have refined their blend of Scandinavian melodicism and modern metalcore dynamics.
Oregon metalcore project. The gambling metaphor channels Pacific Northwest aggression through Russian roulette's deadly chance.
Amokschlaf is a two-person metal project from the Ruhr region of North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, describing themselves as a projectile loaded with homemade metal from their own production workshop. Their German-language releases including In Mir, Friss, and Kalt reflect a self-sufficient, DIY approach to aggressive metal with all composition and production handled in-house.
Among the Accursed is a metalcore band from Bonn, Germany, formed in 2022, whose rapid output includes the 2022 releases Beneath My Skin and Low Spirits followed by the eleven-track 2024 album Protagonist Syndrome. The band plays modern metalcore with aggressive instrumentation and a polished approach to the genre's heavy and melodic dynamics.
El Paso, Texas metalcore and thrash project named after the Anthrax album. Border city aggression paying tribute to Big Four legacy.
Oklahoma City metalcore project. The absent — lost or disappeared — channeled through aggressive music.
Metal band from Fribourg, Switzerland, with roots going back over five studio albums and 300-plus concerts before a 2019 rebranding toward a darker, more haunting sound. Their 2022 EP "Follow Blindly," produced by Vladimir Cochet at Conatus Studios, draws on death metal and hardcore influences to address themes of blind obedience and societal complicity.
Seattle metalcore act arriving in 2025 with the Blood On Our Hands EP. Their name — Latin for 'love conquers' — sets up an interesting tension with the brutality of their sound, emerging from a Pacific Northwest scene that continues to breed boundary-pushing heavy bands.
