Abilene's Entropy bring a progressive sensibility to West Texas heavy rock, balancing hard rock accessibility with the compositional ambition of prog metal since 2020.
Indianapolis thrash veterans Entruce have been grinding away in the Midwest underground since 2007, delivering straight-ahead speed and riff intensity deeply rooted in the classic Bay Area tradition.
Heavy metal band from Brno, Czech Republic, delivering classic, riff-driven metal with conviction since 2016. Their approach stays true to the traditional heavy metal playbook with an emphasis on powerful songwriting from Moravia's capital.
Doom/death metal band from Gomel, Belarus, merging oppressive slowness with guttural death metal ferocity since 2013. Their sound reflects the bleak, heavy atmosphere that defines the doom/death crossover tradition.
Groove/thrash metal band from Athens, Greece active since 2011. They bring fierce, riff-driven metal from the Greek capital.
Budapest's metal underground has produced no shortage of heavy acts, and this doom metal, experimental, and sludge metal unit is among them — wielding glacial, punishment-dealing grooves wallowing in distortion. Uncompromising in their vision, they deliver exactly what their audience demands.
Grindcore and crust band from Segovia, Spain active for over 20 years, featuring dual vocalists and a three-piece instrumental lineup. Their politically charged output addresses colonialism, imperialism, and environmental destruction across splits and EPs.
Part of Italy's underrated but thriving metal community, this act channels death metal and sludge metal with a focus on tar-thick riffs and feedback-drenched nihilism. Formed in 2013, based in Bologna, every recording pushes a little further into uncharted sonic territory.
Russian black metal and death metal act, active since 2025 delivering dissonant chord progressions shrouded in reverb-drenched malice. Rooted in one of Eastern Europe's most extreme metal communities, atmosphere and hostility share equal billing in their work.
