Levice act that evolved from power/speed metal origins into a hard rock/heavy metal direction, reflecting a creative trajectory that moved toward more accessible sonic frameworks. Their stylistic transformation demonstrates the breadth of artistic ambition within Slovakia's underground.
Heavy/speed metal band from Sesto Fiorentino near Florence, Italy, active since 2012. Their approach combines classic heavy metal with speed metal's velocity from the Florentine suburbs.
Redshark is a heavy/speed/power metal band from Barcelona, Spain, active since 2013. The band channels the triple force of heavy, speed, and power metal from one of Europe's great metal cities.
Remiso is a crossover thrash/speed metal band from Malmö, Sweden, formed in 2015. This raw metalpunk band features members from Sweden, Brazil, and Chile, performing with lyrics in Portuguese and a staunch anti-fascist stance.
Thrash/speed metal band from Nieuwleusen, the Netherlands, with roots dating to 1985 — one of the oldest acts on this list. Over four decades of speed/thrash metal represent extraordinary longevity.
Thrash/speed metal band from Utrecht, the Netherlands, active since 2013. Their approach combines thrash aggression with speed metal velocity from the historic canal city.
Resurrector is a speed/thrash metal band from Gothenburg, Sweden, formed in 2020. The band revives the classic speed and thrash metal traditions with high-velocity riffing and aggressive energy from Sweden's metal capital.
Speed metal band from Brasília, formed in 2021, with vocalist Felipe Roadkill, guitarist Pedro Snake, bassist Lucas War, and drummer Samuel Mosh. Their debut demo Key to Madness (2021) contains four tracks — 'Promise of Sanity', 'Deathless as Evil', 'Rev Raptor', and 'Hedonism and Violence' — produced by Zé Misanthrope.
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.
