Madog are a heavy/power metal band from Landskron, Carinthia, formed in 1991 and active into the present day on the Black Sunset label. Their sound is rooted in the melodic European heavy metal tradition, and they appeared on the 2003 underground compilation 'Heart of Dragonsteel: United We Are — 100% Underground Heavy Metal.' Now in their fourth decade, they remain one of Carinthia's most enduring metal acts.

Founded in 1998 in Brussels by guitarist Dushan Petrossi, Magic Kingdom play symphonic epic speed metal that sits comfortably alongside European acts like Rhapsody and Stratovarius.

Milwaukee's Magma Dragon breathe symphonic power metal into the Great Lakes city's metal scene — ornate arrangements, operatic ambitions, and a genuine flair for the grandiose. Since 2013 they've been one of Wisconsin's most theatrical heavy acts.
Magna Mater is a power metal band from the Extremaduran cities of Badajoz and Olivenza, channeling epic melodies and soaring arrangements since 2014. The band draws from the deep well of European power metal while incorporating the fiery spirit of southwestern Spain.
Magnalucius is one of Chile's longest-running power metal bands, formed in Concepción in 2000 and considered a pioneer of the genre in the country. They released their debut album The Quest... in 2002, opened for Stratovarius in Santiago in 2003, and remain active — most recently serving as the opening act for Sonata Arctica in Concepción in April 2025.
