Summers of Emesh craft progressive black/doom metal from Berlin, blending atmospheric complexity with crushing heaviness and cosmic themes. Formed in 2023, they bring Sumerian-mythological depth to the German capital's progressive extreme scene.
Summoner's Circle formed in Knoxville, Tennessee in 2015, crafting a theatrically dense blend of doom, black, death, and progressive metal the band describes as 'Epic Metal.' Drawing influence from Dimmu Borgir, Fleshgod Apocalypse, and Opeth, the six-piece builds elaborately structured compositions around original mythology and occult imagery.

Sunless are a progressive death metal band from Minneapolis, Minnesota, formed in 2016, known for intricately layered compositions that blend dissonant technical death metal with atmospheric and avant-garde sensibilities. Their work draws comparisons to Gorguts and Ulcerate in its dense, labyrinthine approach to extreme music.
