New York's Eternal Ascent combine symphonic grandeur with power metal's soaring melodicism, constructing anthemic compositions built for arenas and imagined medieval battlefields alike. Active since 2019, they pursue unapologetic epic bombast.
Trading in pure metallic intensity, this death metal, melodic death metal, and thrash metal act from Mariestad traffics in guttural vocals and churning downtuned riffs. Since 1994, they've built a catalog that reflects the Gothenburg school's homeland.
Los Angeles's Eternal Ballers approach groove and thrash metal with a street-level irreverence that cuts against the genre's usual self-seriousness. Formed in 2021 with roots in punk attitude as much as metal technique, they are one of the more entertaining acts in the LA underground.
Brooklyn's Eternal Black smoke out with skull-crushing riffs anchored in the doom and stoner traditions, their sound carrying the weight of New York City asphalt and late nights. Since 2015 they have been a fixture of the borough's heavy underground.
From the coalfields of Beckley, West Virginia, Eternal Black bring a melodic black and death metal attack shaped by the mountains and darkness of Appalachia. Active since 2015, they carry the rawness of their surroundings into every recording.
Metalcore act from the Altenburger Land district of Thuringia, Germany, that evolved from hardcore origins since 2006. Their two-decade career reflects a long-running commitment to aggressive, emotionally charged music from eastern Germany.
Black metal project from Belfast, Northern Ireland launched in 2025. They channel warlike black metal from the Northern Irish capital.
Epic black metal project from Belgium, formed in 2025, channeling grandiose, triumphant themes through the raw aggression of black metal. Their approach merges sweeping, cinematic ambition with blast-beat-driven ferocity.
Columbus, Ohio's Eternal Bloodshed tear through blackened death and thrash with the all-or-nothing intensity that has come to define the city's underground in recent years. Founded in 2020, they waste nothing on atmosphere when riff violence will do.
