Taylor, Michigan's Convulsis bring a classic, no-frills thrash metal sensibility to the Detroit-area underground, drawing on the genre's golden era with riff-heavy songs built for velocity and impact. They're a dependable entry in the Midwest's deep thrash tradition.
Black metal band from England, formed in 2021. They deliver dark, intense black metal from the English underground.
Convulsive is a Brazilian old-school death metal band formed in 2020, with members split between Cuiabá (Mato Grosso) and Rio de Janeiro, who composed and recorded their debut entirely remotely. Their first album, "The Grotesquery Ruins of Death" (2022), drew praise for its thick, murky sound reminiscent of early 1990s Finnish and American death metal, and earned an 8/10 from Metal Forces Magazine. The project grew out of members' involvement in other Brazilian extreme metal bands, including Feretral and Obscure Relic.
Conxuro is a folk metal band from Mar del Plata, Argentina, formed in 2007 and built around a full ensemble that includes guitars, bass, drums, keyboards, violin, and flute. The band released La Rueda de la Fortuna in 2012 and their second album Fuego Interior in 2017, recorded at Estudio Mix in Mar del Plata, with vocalist Agustin Raimondi fronting a lineup that has featured members such as Valeria Barbas on flute and Daniela Nazar on violin.
Los Angeles death metal act Cookie Corpse inject a dose of dark humor into their extreme music without sacrificing genuine heaviness — their name is a joke but the riffs are not. They're part of LA's irreverent underground metal community that finds room for personality within brutal music.
Melodic death-power metal band from Girona, Spain, formed in 2022. Their Catalan name meaning coup de grace, they blend melodic death metal with power metal hooks.
New York's Cop Skeletons fuse progressive metal's structural ambition with thrash metal's aggressive backbone, building tense, dynamic compositions that reward attention. Their provocative name signals a sense of humor that coexists with genuinely serious musicianship.
Heavy and power metal band from Kramatorsk in the Donetsk region of eastern Ukraine, formed in 2018. Copper Serpent delivers anthemic traditional metal from a city scarred by conflict.
Tucson's Coppernicus practice a slow, heavy brand of doom metal shaped by the relentless Arizona sun and the vast, crushing silence of the desert landscape. Their music moves with the deliberate weight of tectonic shifts, prioritizing atmosphere and heaviness over speed.
