Thrash and power metal band from Nodebo, Denmark, combining the speed of thrash with power metal's melodic grandeur since 2023. Their dual-genre approach bridges the gap between aggressive thrash riffing and the soaring hooks of European power metal.
Unleash the Archers formed in late 2007 in Victoria, British Columbia, founded by vocalist Brittney Slayes and drummer Scott Buchanan while attending the University of Victoria. The band plays a high-octane blend of power metal and traditional heavy metal, distinguished by Slayes's commanding soprano range, and built international recognition through six studio albums on Napalm Records. Abyss (2020) earned a JUNO Award for Metal/Hard Music Album of the Year, and Apex (2017) further established them as one of Canada's leading heavy metal exports.
Long-running thrash and death metal act from Limoges, France, evolving from their early power and thrash metal sound since 2001. Over two decades of activity, they have refined their approach from power-thrash origins toward a heavier death-thrash direction.
Uranio 238 was a heavy and power metal band from San Miguel, Buenos Aires, Argentina, formed in 1987 and active through 1997 before splitting up. The band released a series of cassette demos during their run, including "Power Metal" (1991) and "Decadas pre-producción" (1992), operating entirely as an independent act within the Argentine underground metal scene.
Urantia is a post-black metal and blackgaze band from Bogotá, Colombia, formed in 2019. They released the EP "Samsāra" in 2019 — recorded, produced, mixed, and mastered entirely by the band that autumn — followed by the full-length "Vermis" in 2020. Their sound blends atmospheric black metal with shoegaze and post-metal textures.
Thrash and power metal band from Leicester, England, combining high-speed aggression with a healthy dose of humor reflected in their irreverent name. Their dual-genre approach balances thrash metal's intensity with power metal's epic qualities.
Copenhagen's gore-splattered grindviolence outfit, a four-piece delivering punishing blast beats and low-end distorted sonic terrorism since 2014. Their 2024 album Som Fortjent represents the band's most single-minded and bludgeoning material, recorded at KB's Funhouse and mastered at Dead Rat Studio.
Algueirao's V12 fires on all cylinders with high-octane power and speed metal that channels the velocity of early Running Wild and Helloween. Their energetic, riff-driven approach channels classic European speed metal through a Portuguese sensibility.
Vahladian is a progressive power metal band from Valencia, Spain, formed in 2020. They blend progressive metal's technical ambition with power metal's melodic grandeur.
