BEX began as a bedroom rock project in 2020 before growing into a vivid UK punk and alternative-rock act with a strong DIY identity. Hailing from Milton Keynes, BEX built early momentum by playing bass-driven covers and then releasing original songs that pulled from punk rock, nu metal, riot grrrl attitude, and 2000s alternative radio. Her music is confrontational and brightly styled at once, matching jagged riffs and shouted hooks with lyrics about anger, misogyny, self-expression, and refusing to be softened for anyone else's comfort. The SCUM EP established her as a force in the newer British punk-rock landscape, with tracks such as "Don't Date The Devil," "SPYD4 K1NG," and "Trust No One" capturing a mix of humor, rage, and heavy groove. Live, BEX's project leans into fashion, handmade visual identity, and abrasive energy, turning punk's classic outsider stance into something colorful, personal, and unmistakably current.
Bologna-based metalcore act active since 2020, merging hardcore punk's confrontational energy with heavy metal's technical ambition. Their compositions trade between aggressive breakdowns and melodic passages with the dynamic range that defines the genre.
French symphonic/alternative metal band from Mâcon in Burgundy, formed in 2016. They blend symphonic grandeur with alternative metal's accessibility.
Beyond All Recognition were a metalcore and electronicore band from Västerås, Sweden, formed around 2011, who combined aggressive breakdowns with prominent electronic and dubstep-influenced programming. Signed to Napalm Records, they released their debut full-length Drop = Dead in 2012 and a self-titled second album in 2016 before splitting up in 2017. Their early single 'Characters' accumulated significant online traction and brought them attention within the international metalcore community.
Kampen-based doom metal act active since 2022, 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.

Death metal outfit from Sintra, formed in 2018. Their sound draws from the genre's foundational playbook of crushing riffs, blast beats, and growled vocals, executed with the conviction of dedicated extremists.
Stockholm-based melodic death metal act active since 2019, threading harmonized guitar leads and memorable hooks through aggressive, double-bass-driven arrangements. Their approach balances accessibility with genuine heaviness, drawing from the Gothenburg tradition.
