Stoner metal/rock act from Bremen in northern Germany, delivering heavy, fuzz-laden compositions since 2014. Their approach channels the warm, amplifier-worshipping groove of stoner rock with added metal heaviness.
Pruszcz Gdański/Gdańsk's metal underground has produced no shortage of heavy acts, and this post-metal and progressive metal unit is among them — wielding labyrinthine compositions spanning multiple movements and moods. Their sound resists easy categorization, blending influences into something distinctly their own.
Atmospheric black metal project from Nancy, France formed in 2022. They craft expansive, contemplative black metal from the Lorraine capital.
Kansas City's Etched Horizon defy easy categorization, weaving progressive structures, post-black atmospherics, and experimental death metal into something genuinely unsettling. Founded in 2023, they are one of the more adventurous acts to emerge from the Midwest's recent underground surge.
Modesto's Etched in Stone push progressive deathcore into ambitious territory, layering technical death metal muscle over carefully constructed song architecture. Active since 2009, they have grown into one of Central California's most accomplished heavy acts.
Atlanta's Etched in Stone deliver heavy metal with a Southern backbone, channeling the city's long tradition of hard-hitting rock and metal into a sound that feels grounded and road-tested. They have been part of Georgia's heavy music community since 2009.
Thrash/groove metal act from the Volkswagen city of Wolfsburg, Germany, delivering riff-heavy aggression since 2012. Their approach merges thrash speed with the rhythmic punch of groove metal from Lower Saxony's industrial heartland.
Power metal and symphonic metal act from Seville, Spain formed in 2015. They channel epic melodies and orchestral grandeur from southern Spain.
Death metal act from Hanover, Germany, named after the ancient Mesopotamian ziggurat of Babel, active since 2014. Their ancient name lends mythological weight to their punishing approach to modern death metal.
