French grindcore and thrash metal band from Lyon, active since 2008. They deliver nearly two decades of worm-infested grindcore from France's second city.
Black metal project from Szerencs, emerging in 2001. Their compositions draw from the wellspring of second-wave Scandinavian tradition while filtering it through the cultural context of their Hungarian origins.
British black metal act active since 2020, channeling the genre's core tenets of tremolo-driven riffing and blast-beat fury through a British lens. Their recordings maintain a commitment to the raw, unvarnished aesthetic that defines underground black metal.
Czech metal band from Sokolov, formed in 2010, whose style has evolved from power metal origins toward a heavier groove metal direction. This stylistic shift reflects the band's restless creative development over more than a decade.
Punishing brutal death metal from Surgut, formed in 2013. Guttural vocals scrape the basement of human register while churning riffs and gravity-blast percussion pummel with mechanical precision.
Since 2017, this Italian thrash metal act has delivered high-velocity riff assaults from Lecce. Their sound channels the raw energy of the genre's golden era through tight musicianship.
