Boston-based guitarist Ethan Brosh has been pursuing neoclassical shred with serious intent since 2018 — technique-forward compositions that nod to Baroque structure while shredding at full throttle.
Wrocław, Poland — doom metal and sludge metal of the most uncompromising kind. Active since 2019, they deal in Southern-fried heaviness with hardcore punk's confrontational energy. The combination of influences yields something more interesting than any single genre label implies.
Ethel Hunter is a death metal band from Curitiba, Paraná, Brazil, formed in 2014. Drawing influence from acts like Cannibal Corpse, Monstrosity, and Suffocation, they released their debut "No Man Is Truly Free" in 2014, followed by "Consciousness Awakening" (2020) and the EP "Chasm of the Soul" (2023).
Straddling the line between black metal and death metal, this Dutch actfrom Hillegom fuses dissonant chord progressions shrouded in reverb-drenched malice into a cohesive whole. They've been at it since 2025, and atmosphere and hostility share equal billing in their work.
When Ethelyn emerged in 1999 from Opoczno, they brought with them a sound rooted in black metal, death metal, and melodic death metal — all percussive blast-beat onslaughts and cavernous production. Low-tuned guitars and guttural vocals form the bedrock of their attack.
Death, gothic, and symphonic metal act from Madrid, Spain active since 2011. They weave dark romanticism and orchestral textures into their extreme metal framework.
Fort Lauderdale's Ether Coven has been dragging sludge metal through the Florida heat since 2016, pairing thick, tar-slow riffs with a swampy Southern heaviness that makes you sweat just listening.
Etherbind is a depressive black metal band from Bogotá, Colombia, formed in 2025 and signed to Black Stars Productions. The band released their debut full-length "Dissociation Ritual" in July 2025, a six-track album exploring radical nihilism, isolation, and the collapse of self through a depressive black metal lens. Their lyrical themes center on nihilism, blasphemy, misanthropy, and madness.
Raw black metal project from the Grand Est region of France, active since 2017. They deliver unpolished, aggressive black metal from eastern France.
