Denver power metal project from the Colorado underground.
Angélida blends symphonic, gothic, and power metal from Zaragoza with female-fronted vocals and intricate guitar solos woven through every track. Across three albums including "Decanimae," "La Ciudad de los Pájaros," and "La Liga Onírica," they've built a lush, genre-spanning sound rooted in Aragonese creativity.
Aniima was a Brazilian power metal band formed in 2024 that split up after a brief existence. Operating within Brazil's well-established power metal tradition, the project left behind a limited recorded output before disbanding.
Animal House plays power metal from the Gorizia area in Friuli-Venezia Giulia since 2014, their irreverent name contrasting with the disciplined melodicism power metal demands. From Italy's Slovenian borderland, they forge anthemic metal with northeastern vigor.
One of Spain's premier power metal acts, Ankhara emerged from Madrid in 1996 and built a devoted following through albums like "Dueño del Tiempo" and "Sombras del Pasado" on Locomotive Music. After reforming in 2013 following a nine-year hiatus, they returned with "Sinergia" and their latest "Premonición" on Art Gates Records, proving their staying power across three decades.
From the tiny Andalusian mountain village of Benaocaz, Anomia delivers heavy and power metal that seems impossibly ambitious for such a remote origin. Since 2017, they've channeled the rugged beauty of Cádiz province's Sierra de Grazalema into anthemic, fist-raising metal.
Another Dawn delivers thrash and power metal from Örebro since 2019. Their new-beginning name drives compositions that merge thrash aggression with power metal heroism from central Sweden.
Another Destiny Project crafts heavy and power metal from Trieste since 2013. From the Adriatic port city at the crossroads of Italian, Slavic, and Germanic cultures, they deliver classic metal with the multinational energy their setting inspires.
Seattle power metal project whose name riffs on the geological epoch. Their 2019 full-length Nucleation and earlier EP demonstrate a band applying scientific vocabulary to triumphant, melodic heavy metal from the Emerald City.
