German black metal band from Greifswald on the Baltic coast, formed in 2013. Originally blending black and death metal, they later refined their sound toward a purer black metal direction.
Death metal outfit from Leerdam/Utrecht, formed in 2017. Their sound draws from the genre's foundational playbook of crushing riffs, blast beats, and growled vocals, executed with the conviction of dedicated extremists.
Parisian heavy metal band formed in 2018, fronted by vocalist Drina Hex alongside guitarist Orco, bassist JP, and drummer Saraknyal. Their discography from Their Coming through the 2025 full-length Into the Abyss delivers thrash-infused heavy metal exploring psychological horror and existential dread.
Burning Dusk is a melodic death metal band from Valparaíso, Chile, originally founded in 1999 and later reconstituted around 2014. The band released the four-track EP "Shameful Angel" in May 2014 and followed it with the full-length "Scavenger of Light" in 2015, drawing on Scandinavian-influenced melodic death metal while maintaining an independent status.
Truro-based symphonic metal act active since 2018, building their sound on lush orchestral arrangements, soaring vocals, and cinematic compositions. Their music draws from the European symphonic metal tradition of epic, larger-than-life heavy music.
Finnish thrash metal band from Orimattila, active since 2007. With nearly two decades of imperial thrash, they are a veteran of the Häme region scene.
Heavy metal and hard rock band from Bruges (Flanders), Belgium, active since 2011. Their debut album "The Working Class Rock" embodies a blue-collar rock 'n' roll attitude fused with heavy metal riffing.
Milan-based stoner/doom outfit active since 2013, conjuring thick clouds of fuzz-laden riffage and hypnotic, groove-driven compositions. Their sound channels the haze of 1970s proto-metal through a modern lens of distortion-worship and lysergic exploration.
Since 2017, this Italian heavy metal act has kept the flame of traditional metal burning from Cagliari. Their sound is built on the genre's bedrock: powerful riffs, commanding vocals, and unwavering commitment.
