Bydgoszcz-based death metal/grindcore outfit active since 2019, blasting through short, ferocious compositions that marry death metal's low-end churn with grindcore's frenetic speed. Their music operates at maximum intensity with minimal patience for subtlety.
Spanish black/death metal band from León, formed in 2020. They forge bestial black/death metal from the historic city of northwestern Spain.
Beastkrieg is a bestial black thrash metal band from São Carlos, São Paulo state, Brazil, formed in 2013. Drawing from the classic South American extreme metal lineage — Sarcófago, Impurity, Holocausto, and Mystifier — alongside old-world forebears Venom, Bathory, and Hellhammer, the band plays blasting, blasphemous black-thrash rooted in lust, Satan, and chaos. Their 2014 album "Graveyard Rite (Alcoholic Ceremony of Baphometic Worship)" captures the raw, primitive spirit they operate in.
Oslo-based progressive grindcore innovators formed in 2010, nominated twice for the Norwegian Grammy in the metal category. Their irreverent approach layers mathcore, melodic black metal, and nu-metal flourishes over a grindcore foundation, producing endlessly surprising compositions across six full-length albums.
German crossover band from Freiburg im Breisgau, formed in 2010. They blend thrash, punk, and metal influences into an energetic crossover style from the sunny southwest of Germany.
Finnish death metal band from Joensuu, formed in 2015. They play crushing death metal from the forests of eastern Finland.
Finnish black/thrash metal band from Tampere and Lempäälä, formed in 2016. They fuse black metal's darkness with thrash metal's speed from the Pirkanmaa region.
German melodic heavy metal band from Peine, formed in 2017. They craft hook-laden heavy metal with strong melodies and an accessible yet powerful delivery.
Solo atmospheric and post-black metal project from London, created by multi-instrumentalist David Ravengarde in 2012. The debut album Providence explores life, death, and the beyond through extended compositions of extreme euphoric metal, blending melodic black metal with doom and folk-tinged atmospherics.
