Progressive death metal outfit from North Holland, formed in 2013. Their material navigates shifting tempos, unconventional song structures, and intricate instrumental interplay while maintaining the genre's essential aggression.
Heavy metal act from Ashby-de-la-Zouch flying the flag of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, formed in 2021. Their twin-guitar harmonies and galloping rhythms pay homage to the movement that shaped modern metal.
Stoner metal act from Uppsala, built on fuzzy riffage. Their compositions ride low-slung grooves through clouds of distortion, evoking the sun-baked psychedelia of the desert rock tradition.
Uncompromising death metal from Halmstad, active since 2020. Their material trades in the genre's heaviest traditions: cavernous vocals, churning guitar work, and percussion that hits with tectonic force.
Bristol-based thrash metal/metalcore act active since 2010, bridging old-school thrash's riff-driven attack with metalcore's modern dynamics and breakdown-heavy structures. Their sound draws from both traditions with aggressive conviction.
Treviso-based heavy metal act active since 2009, delivering riff-driven compositions rooted in the genre's foundational traditions of power chords, soaring vocals, and galloping rhythms. Their sound carries the unmistakable stamp of classic heavy metal conviction.
German heavy/power metal band from Reichenbach, formed in 2024. They bring anthemic heavy and power metal to the scene.
Progressive metal outfit from Ruma, formed in 2012. Their work incorporates odd time signatures, extended instrumental passages, and dynamic contrasts that elevate their sound beyond standard metal fare.
Wrocław-based stoner/sludge metal outfit active since 2013, laying down thick, fuzz-caked riffs that move at a lumbering, hypnotic pace. Their sound occupies the hazy intersection where stoner metal's psychedelic warmth meets sludge's abrasive hostility.
