Black metal project from Wolverhampton, England active since 2013. They channel dark intensity from the West Midlands.
Exploring the depths of thrash metal, this Ukrainian outfit from Uzhhorod has been refining their craft since 2025. Their sound hinges on circle-pit anthems driven by relentless double-kick propulsion, delivered with unflinching purpose.
Thrash/power metal act from Biberach in Upper Swabia, Germany, merging thrash velocity with power metal's anthemic grandeur since 2005. Their two-decade career reflects enduring dedication to this dynamic genre combination.
New York's Eternian arrived in 2024 with melodic power metal that reaches for the sky — big hooks, layered harmonics, and a sense of adventure that makes the genre's ambitions feel earned.
Straddling the line between black metal and raw black metal, this Polish actfrom Goleniów fuses dissonant chord progressions shrouded in reverb-drenched malice into a cohesive whole. They've been at it since 2015, and atmosphere and hostility share equal billing in their work.
Heavy metal and progressive metal band from Metz/Thionville in Lorraine, France active since 2006. With nearly two decades of experience, they are a fixture of the northeastern French metal scene.
Out of Caruthersville, Missouri since 2016, Eternity deals in old-school heavy/thrash metal, delivering the kind of guitar-forward, heads-down aggression that the heartland underground runs on.
Owensboro's Eternity blends melodic death's precision with gothic metal's haunted atmosphere — a Kentucky band carving out a space where melody and menace coexist since 2016.
San Diego's Eternity Opens has been building progressive metal of unusual depth since 2016 — layered arrangements and restless song structures that reward careful listening.
