When Esthet emerged in 2020 from Saint Petersburg, they brought with them a sound rooted in death metal — all percussive blast-beat onslaughts and cavernous production. Low-tuned guitars and guttural vocals form the bedrock of their attack.
Estonian act from Tallinn that evolved from stoner rock into a heavier blend of stoner, sludge, and doom metal since 2012. Their punning name merges "Estonia" with "stoner," reflecting their national identity within the global stoner/doom scene.
Doom and stoner metal band from Mieres in Asturias, Spain, active since 2012. Their Vol. II features dense, corrosive riffs reminiscent of Neon Knights-era Black Sabbath, recorded across multiple Asturian studios.
Heavy metal band from Altenberg in Saxony, Germany, delivering classic, riff-centered metal since 2013. Their name evokes separation and distance, adding emotional resonance to their traditional heavy metal approach.
Heavy metal band from London, England active since 2016. They bring powerful heavy metal from the British capital.
Los Angeles slam outfit Estrogenized crush with grotesque, bowel-shaking brutality in the tradition of West Coast goregrind excess. Since 2022 they have been a reliable source of chest-caving slams and guttural vocal punishment.
Thrash/death metal band from the bilingual Swiss city of Biel/Bienne, delivering aggressive extremity since 2013. Their position in one of Switzerland's cultural crossroads infuses their sound with both French and German-Swiss metal traditions.
Ambitious Melodic Progressive Metal out of Texas.
Firmly rooted in black metal, this Russian actfrom Krasnodar delivers dissonant chord progressions shrouded in reverb-drenched malice without compromise. They've been at it since 2021, and atmosphere and hostility share equal billing in their work.
