Solo experimental black metal project from Flanders, Belgium, originally started as ZERKEN in 2009 before adopting its current name. The project blends raw black metal with noise and ambient elements, with releases spanning demos and compilation tapes across a decade of sporadic activity.
Uncompromising death metal from Vladivostok, active since 2009. Their material trades in the genre's heaviest traditions: cavernous vocals, churning guitar work, and percussion that hits with tectonic force.
Bristol sludge metal four-piece formed in 2015, signed to APF Records, creating what they call a sludge-meets-extreme-metal carnival. Their releases including Compelled to Repeat and the Chainscraper EP blend post-metal, psychedelia, grunge, stoner rock, and death metal into an unpredictable, genre-defying heaviness.
Spanish heavy/power metal band from Leganés near Madrid, formed in 2019. They craft blade-sharp heavy and power metal from the southern outskirts of the capital.
UK death metal band formed in 2020, blending slam, death metal, punk, and raw aesthetics. Their demo EP and tracks like Burn the Witch deliver aggressive, DIY-spirited extremity with a punk-infused edge.
German slam/brutal death metal and deathcore band from Cologne, formed in 2012. They specialize in extreme, deliberately provocative brutal death metal with slam breakdowns.
German metalcore band from Dinslaken, formed in 2017. They deliver aggressive metalcore with heavy breakdowns and intense vocal performances.
London thrash metal, crossover, and crust band formed in 2017. They fuse the speed and aggression of thrash with crust punk's raw, politically charged energy.
Palermo-based brutal death metal outfit active since 2019, 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.
