Nekrogoblikon

Los Angeles, CA, US · 2006–present · active
Los Angeles-based Nekrogoblikon have carved out a gleefully absurd niche as metal's premier goblin-themed band, delivering surprisingly technical melodic death metal wrapped in darkly comedic theatrics featuring their mascot, John Goblikon. Albums like 'Heavy Meta' and 'Welcome to Bonkers' pair genuine musical chops with tongue-in-cheek humor, blending death metal growls with synth-driven melodies and power metal hooks. Their viral music videos and outlandish live shows have built a devoted cult following that proves metal and comedy can coexist without sacrificing heaviness.

Nightrage

GR · 2000–present · active
Nightrage was founded in Thessaloniki, Greece in 2000 by guitarist Marios Iliopoulos and guitarist Gus G, later relocating the project to Gothenburg to more directly absorb the Swedish melodic death metal scene. Their debut Sweet Vengeance (2003) featured guest vocals from At the Gates singer Tomas Lindberg and established Nightrage as a high-caliber entry in the melodic death genre. The band has continued releasing albums consistently through the 2010s and into the 2020s, most recently with Abyss Rising (2022).

Norther

FI · 2000–present · active
Norther was a Finnish melodic death metal band from Espoo, formed in 1996 under the name Requiem before adopting their final name. Drawing frequent comparisons to Children of Bodom in their early work, they released six studio albums beginning with Dreams of Endless War (2002) and Mirror of Madness (2003), building a devoted following in the Finnish melodic death metal scene. The band continued releasing records through Circle Regenerated (2011) before disbanding in 2012.
