East West Blast Test is a collaborative grindcore and power violence project formed in 1999, pairing drummer Dave Witte (Burnt by the Sun, Human Remains) on the East Coast with multi-instrumentalist Chris Dodge (Spazz) on the West Coast, assembling material via mailed tapes. Their self-titled debut (2003) stacked jazz-noise, thrash, and hardcore into 27 rapid-fire tracks, with guests including Municipal Waste's Tony Foresta and Faith No More's Dean Menta. A second album, Popular Music for Unpopular People, raised the chaos further on Ipecac Recordings.
War-torn black metal band from Ipswich, England active since 2007, signed to Cacophonous and Candlelight Records. Their 2016 album EmpirE features a collaboration with Dani Filth of Cradle of Filth on the track Crimson Mourn.
The Swedish city of Malmö serves as headquarters for this progressive metal operation, whose arsenal includes Opeth-school dynamics married to modern progressive sensibility. Their approach balances aggression with genuine musical substance.
One of Portland, Maine's longer-running heavy acts, Eastern Spell has been casting their particular brand of sludge-doom since 2013 — dense, slow-burning songs where the misery accumulates like snowpack.
Post-metal band from Tomsk in western Siberia, Russia formed in 2021. Their sound channels atmospheric post-metal from one of Siberia's most important university cities.
Black metal, doom, and stoner metal band from Glasgow, Scotland active since 2013. They deliver a hazy blend of blackened doom and stoner heaviness from Scotland's largest city.
The name says it all and nothing at once: Ventura, California's Easy Death makes stoner doom that's anything but painless, trading in heavy psych riffs and the kind of lumbering grooves that make time feel elastic.
Power metal band from Madrid, Spain, delivering anthemic, high-energy compositions since 2015. Their name evokes freedom and adventure, capturing the spirit of their riff-driven power metal.
Founded in 2024, Easy Way is a depressive atmospheric black metal project with roots in American DSBM tradition — cold, interior, and built from the kind of suffering that doesn't announce itself loudly.
