Epicedio is a progressive metal band from Montevideo, Uruguay, that formed in 2009 and released their debut full-length, Lacisum, in December 2018. The album spans nine instrumental tracks drawing on the complex arrangements and technical musicianship associated with acts like Dream Theater and Andromeda. The band operates independently out of Montevideo's underground metal scene.
Chattanooga's Epicedium take their name from the Latin for a funeral song, and their melodic progressive death metal bears that weight with elegance. Since 2021, they've been building a sound that frames grief and complexity as twin engines of heavy music.
Heavy metal band from Jadranovo, Croatia active since 2013. They bring classic heavy metal from the Adriatic coast.
New Hampshire thrash band Epicenter have been generating seismic riffage out of Pelham since 2014, drawing from the genre's classic template without softening its edges. Their approach is straightforward in the best sense — four musicians locked in and swinging hard.
Power metal and symphonic metal band from Joensuu, Finland active since 2001. As one of eastern Finland's longest-running power metal acts, they have built over two decades of epic, orchestral metal.
Power metal band from Helsinki, Finland formed in 2016. They deliver soaring, melodic power metal from the Finnish capital.
Underground to the core, this grindcore act from Lysychansk traffics in microsecond-length blasts of noise and fury. Since 2019, they've built a catalog that reflects Ukraine's fierce and unyielding metal community.
Power metal act from the Community of Madrid, Spain with roots stretching back to 1998. As one of the longer-running Spanish power metal outfits, they bring nearly three decades of experience to their soaring, melodic sound.
Black metal project from Paris, France active since 2014. They channel plague-themed darkness from the French capital.
