Dutch black metal act, active since 2016 delivering second-wave ferocity filtered through modern production sensibilities. Rooted in the Low Countries' prolific death metal tradition, their recordings conjure desolation through sheets of tremolo-picked guitar.
Black metal and industrial hybrid from Prato, Italy active since 2015, merging raw black metal hostility with mechanical industrial textures. Their sound occupies the abrasive intersection between black metal's organic chaos and industrial's cold precision.
A slow, punishing force out of Johnson City, Tennessee, Ent drags doom and sludge through Appalachian murk with an oppressive weight that feels geological in its patience. Their sound favors suffocating low-end over speed, letting each riff settle like sediment.
Wielding gothic metal as their weapon, this Hungarian outfit from Sümeg has been refining their craft since 2013. Their sound hinges on dark, theatrical compositions balancing heaviness with elegance, delivered with ruthless intent.
Entardecer is a solo atmospheric and depressive black metal project from Recife, Pernambuco, Brazil, founded in 2017 by the artist known as Astratta. The project has released several EPs including "Lethargy" (2018) and "Fomalhaut" (2019), and contributed to the DSBM Brazil Vol. I compilation.
Progressive metal and sludge outfit from the Galician coastal towns of Moana and Bueu, Spain, active since 2003. They deliver heavy, textured compositions drawing on over two decades of experience in the Spanish underground.
Seattle's Entelech has been refining melodic death metal since 2011, weaving guitar harmonies and Scandinavian-influenced leads through a framework of technical precision and genuine songwriting ambition. They treat melody not as decoration but as architecture.
Thrash/power metal act from Ravensburg in Upper Swabia, Germany, formed in 2022, merging thrash velocity with power metal's anthemic grandeur. Their diplomatic name contrasts with the combative intensity of their music.
Firmly rooted in progressive metal, this Norwegian actfrom Horten delivers polyrhythmic complexity balanced with emotive melodic passages without compromise. They've been at it since 2014, and their sound resists easy categorization, blending influences into something distinctly their own.
