Black metal project from the small Czech village of Pavlikov, conjuring nocturnal atmospheres and occult darkness since 2020. Their name evokes a perpetual night that permeates their raw, atmospheric black metal sound.
Part of Holland's dense concentration of metal talent, this act channels thrash metal with a focus on crossover-tinged fury with punk's directness and metal's complexity. Formed in 2007, based in Rijnsburg, their approach channels the urgency of early Metallica and Slayer.
Seattle's Eternal Nocturne arrived in 2024 with a melodic death metal sound that channels the Pacific Northwest's grey skies — hooky guitar leads cutting through dense, thundering riffage.
Out of Idaho Falls since 2013, Eternal North fuses the sweep and grandeur of power metal with the serrated attack of melodic death, conjuring the harsh beauty of the high desert.
Baltimore's Eternal Oblivion has been pummeling since 2014 with a death/thrash hybrid that hits hard and fast, rooted in the working-class grit of the Maryland metal underground.
Maple Grove's Eternal Oblivion brings a deathcore edge to the Twin Cities scene, pairing skull-caving breakdowns with the raw, guttural aggression of straight-ahead death metal.
Denver's high-altitude desolation seeps into every note Eternal Obsession plays — their atmospheric black metal trades in vast, windswept textures and suffocating cold since 2018.
Thrash metal act from Budingen in Hesse, Germany, formed in 2022, delivering high-speed, punishing aggression. Their name evokes unceasing suffering, driving a relentless approach to classic thrash metal.
