Part of Italy's underrated but thriving metal community, this act channels heavy metal and power metal with a focus on operatic vocal delivery over fleet-fingered guitarwork. Formed in 2016, speed and melody coexist in carefully calibrated balance.
Harrisonburg, Virginia's Earthling has been fusing progressive sensibilities with thrash and death metal since 2011, a combination that brings technical ambition to a corner of the state with a strong tradition of underground heaviness.
Boston's Earthlore moves through psychedelic heavy metal, stoner, and doom with the measured confidence of a band that knows the territory — formed in 2019 and building something warmer and more textured than pure doom alone.
Black metal project from Helsinki, Finland launched in 2020. They deliver cold, atmospheric black metal from the Finnish capital.

Florida's Earthmother, around since 2015, inhabits the space where post-black metal's atmospheric sprawl meets hardcore's immediate, physical intensity — an emotionally raw combination that doesn't soften either influence.
Scranton, Pennsylvania's Earthmouth has been working the stoner/doom crossover since 2013, a working-class rust-belt city providing appropriately gritty context for music built from slow, heavy repetition.
Straddling the line between heavy metal and power metal, this Italian actfrom Sarzana (La Spezia) fuses uplifting harmonic progressions and virtuosic instrumental interplay into a cohesive whole. They've been at it since 2012, and anthemic choruses and virtuosic solos define their approach.
