Székesfehérvár-based metalcore act active since 2014, 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.
Palermo-based southern metal act active since 2013, injecting blues-influenced swagger and whiskey-soaked groove into their heavy, riff-driven sound. Their music channels the spirit of American Southern rock and metal through a Italian perspective.
Grindcore act from Arnhem, formed in 2023. Their music exists in a state of perpetual detonation, packing blast beats and screamed vocals into compositions that rarely exceed the two-minute mark.
Melodic death/thrash metal band from Zurich, Switzerland, formed in 2021. They combine melodic sensibility with the aggression of death and thrash metal.
Experimental death metal trio from Auch in southwestern France, formed in 2012, featuring Ivy Brizard on vocals, Mickael Le Van on guitar, and Nicolas Mendousse on drums. Their djent-inflected approach explores dystopian and philosophical themes across releases like One Day On Earth and their 2024 EP on M&O Music.
Five-piece doom/sludge band from Vienna, Austria, formed in 2024, released on Capeet Records. Their self-titled debut EP, recorded live and pressed on limited red transparent cassette, delivers epic slow-burn heaviness spanning tracks up to twelve minutes long.
Bristol-based brutal death metal outfit active since 2013, delivering relentless blastbeat-driven punishment and guttural vocal extremity. Their compositions trade in the genre's heaviest currency: slamming breakdowns, inhuman vocals, and wall-to-wall brutality.
