Metallic hardcore from Austin.
German doom/sludge metal band from Mannheim, formed in 2019, rising from the ashes of Black Shape of Nexus. Their unconventional two-bass, one-guitar, drums lineup creates what they call 'the total absence of tonal sanity' -- crushing, psychedelic doom-sludge of massive proportions.
German heavy/power metal band from Straßberg, formed in 2022. They deliver classic heavy and power metal with soaring melodies and thunderous riffing.

German black metal band from Annaberg-Buchholz, active since 1995 and released through Napalm Records. Their debut Berserker and follow-up Siechturm established them as one of Saxony's earliest black metal acts with atmospheric, instrumental-leaning compositions.
Belonger is a heavy metal band from Santos, São Paulo, Brazil, formed in 2016 by members Mauro Duarte, Jonas D. Rocha, and Carlos Fleury.

Their sound blends old-school heavy metal sensibilities with Christian-themed lyrical content.
