Bytom-based gothic metal act active since 2003, interweaving dark romantic atmospheres with heavy guitar work and dramatic vocal performances. Their sound draws from the tradition of Type O Negative and Paradise Lost, balancing heaviness with melancholic beauty.
Czech atmospheric black metal trio from Prague, formed in 2024 and self-described as playing raw cosmic black metal. Their debut album Ignari features four expansive tracks exploring cosmic consciousness and existential themes through raw, ethereal black metal.
Finnish black metal project formed in 2022. They channel sorrowful black metal with a wailing, mournful intensity.
Moscow-based doom metal act active since 2019, crafting monolithic compositions built on slow-burning riffs and an atmosphere of pervasive heaviness. Their patient approach to songwriting lets each chord ring with crushing finality.
German death metal band from Oberhausen, formed in 2022. They deliver crushing death metal with nautical-horror themes from the industrial Ruhr Valley.
Umeå-based black/thrash/heavy metal act forging a potent brew of first-wave black metal attitude and classic heavy metal riffing. Their sound channels the raw spirit of Venom and early Bathory through a Swedish lens.
Bewitcher are a black metal and speed metal trio from Portland, Oregon, formed in 2013, whose sound combines the raw energy of first-wave black metal with the sleazy momentum of late-1970s speed metal and hard rock. Their self-titled debut appeared in 2016, followed by Under the Witching Cross, Cursed Be Thy Kingdom, and Spell Shock, with the band signing to Century Media Records as their reach expanded. Their music is deliberately lo-fi in spirit while retaining enough clarity to highlight the interplay between riff-based song structures and aggressive delivery.
Bewitchment is a one-man death/thrash metal project from Rio Grande da Serra, São Paulo, Brazil, helmed by Rodrigo "Infectz" Costa. The project draws heavily on old-school death metal influences, particularly the early works of Death and Pestilence's "Malleus Maleficarum" era, blending those sounds with thrash aggression. The project released the full-length "Oblivion Shall Reign" (2019) in a limited pressing of 500 copies through multiple Brazilian underground labels including Rapture Records and Extreme Sounds Records.
Thessaloniki-based groove metal/metalcore outfit active since 2011, combining crushing syncopated riffs with metalcore's dynamic song structures and breakdown-heavy approach. Their sound bridges pit-ready heaviness with modern extreme metal aggression.
