Ardour delivers death metal with metalcore elements from the Lincolnshire fishing town of Grimsby since 2015, their passionate name contrasting with the cold North Sea intensity of their sound. Over a decade of Humberside extremity speaks to sustained commitment.
San Jose, California deathcore outfit whose 2020 debut Unto Leviathan invokes biblical sea monsters through crushing breakdowns. Bay Area brutality channeled through Old Testament imagery.
Connecticut doom collaboration featuring veteran musicians exploring the heavier side of progressive rock and traditional doom, delivering patient, emotionally rich compositions with decades of experience behind them.
Ardwynn is a folk metal band from Liège, Belgium, formed in 2014 and influenced by Amon Amarth, Eluveitie, and Korpiklaani. Their 2017 EP "Légendes de Héros Oubliés" features five tracks recorded at SAM in Liège and blends energetic folk instrumentation with heavy metal riffs.

Are You God? was a brutal death metal and grindcore band from São Paulo, Brazil, active from 2001 until their split-up. They released their 2001 debut demo as a handmade CD-R on recycled paper, distributing over a thousand copies for free — a gesture rooted in the DIY ethos of the São Paulo underground. Their discography includes the 2006 album Miranda (released via Travolta Discos and 2+2=5 Records) and a 2008 split with German grindcore act Japanische Kampfhörspiele.
Area 5.1 blends progressive and thrash metal from the Cumbrian industrial town of Barrow-in-Furness since 2023, their secret-military-base name adding conspiratorial intrigue to their technically demanding compositions. Their remote lakeland origins lend genuine isolation.
Las Vegas thrash metal project whose 2024 single arrives from a city practically adjacent to America's most famous classified military installation. The conspiracy-theory name writes itself when you're playing thrash in the Nevada desert.
Named for and rooted in the small Castilian town of Ágreda on the Soria border, Aregrada has been forging heavy metal since 2013 with a dedication to their rural origins. Their music carries the spirit of one of Spain's most sparsely populated regions.
