Groove/thrash/power metal band from Moscow, Russia, active since 2017. Their triple-genre approach delivers diverse aggressive metal from the Russian capital.

Heavy/power metal band from São Paulo formed in 1987, led by guitarist Affonso Jr., who remained the central figure across the band's changing lineups. The band issued a cassette release in 1989 and a full-length album in 1990, occupying an atypical position in the Brazilian metal scene with a range extending from symphonic passages to thrash-influenced material.
Arlington, Massachusetts's Revengeance have been delivering high-octane power/speed metal since 2012, channeling the fist-pumping bombast of classic European power metal through the razor-edged velocity of American speed metal. Their sound is unapologetically epic — twin guitar harmonies, soaring vocals, and tempos that never let up — which cuts against Boston's more indie-leaning reputation and plants a flag for the region's underserved metal faithful. Over a decade in, they remain one of New England's most enthusiastic proponents of pure metallic excess.
Reveria is a power metal band from Umeå, Sweden, formed in 2020. The band brings melodic power metal to the northern Swedish city better known for its hardcore and punk scenes.

Revolution Renaissance is a power metal band from Helsinki, Finland, active since 2010. The band delivers classic European power metal from the Finnish capital.
