Chicago's Energy Vampires arrived in 2025 with a heavy and power metal hybrid that sinks its teeth into soaring melodies and muscular riffwork. Fresh out of the gate, they bring a theatrical bite to the Windy City's metal underground.
Power metal band from Helsinki/Porvoo, Finland active since 2014. Their 2014 debut Superhero Diaries - Part I channels classic European power metal in the vein of Helloween, Stratovarius, and Edguy across eleven tracks.
Albuquerque's Enforcer has charted an interesting evolution from heavy and power metal beginnings toward an industrial-thrash hybrid since forming in 2008. The New Mexico desert seems to have pushed them toward harsher, more mechanical territory over time.
Chicago's Enforcer draws on the gravity of doom metal and the grandeur of power metal to build a sound that is both heavy and epic, active in the Windy City scene since 2008. Their songwriting favors weight and atmosphere over speed, letting riffs breathe and expand.
Exploring the depths of heavy metal and power metal, this Italian outfit from Sassari has been refining their craft since 2019. Their sound hinges on Helloween-school optimism forged in twin-guitar brilliance, delivered with absolute focus.
Thrash/power metal act from Ravensburg in Upper Swabia, Germany, formed in 2022, merging thrash velocity with power metal's anthemic grandeur. Their diplomatic name contrasts with the combative intensity of their music.
Chicago's Enticer marries power metal's soaring anthemics with thrash's aggression, a combination that has given them a distinct identity in the city's crowded metal scene since forming in 2014. Think twin guitars, big choruses, and fast picking.
Power metal band from Peraseinajoki in southern Ostrobothnia, Finland, active since 2013. They bring epic power metal from rural western Finland.
Gothic and power metal band from Madrid, Spain formed in 2019. They merge the dark atmospherics of gothic metal with the soaring melodies and energy of power metal.
