When Everlasting Breath emerged in 2016 from Vigevano (Pavia), they brought with them a sound rooted in black metal and symphonic metal — all cinematic sweep and operatic vocals over thundering metal arrangements. The combination of influences yields something more interesting than any single genre label implies.
Everlasting Brutality is a technical and melodic death metal/deathcore band from San José, Costa Rica, active since 2008. Their 2012 full-length Annihilation of Humanity delivers five tracks of dense, riff-heavy death metal with deathcore elements, including the standout cuts Unfurling an Apocalypse and Massacre Shall Be Blessed by Wisdom. The band has remained active as an independent act through the following decade.
Death metal act from Stassfurt in Saxony-Anhalt, Germany, delivering relentless, unending aggression since 2017. Their name captures the perpetual, unceasing nature of their death metal onslaught.
Rock Island, Illinois black metal outfit Everlasting Light has been working in the Midwestern underground since 2019, contributing to the region's surprisingly active and underappreciated extreme metal community. Their name suggests a confrontation with permanence or the divine — a thematic tension that fuels the best of black metal's philosophical vein.
Black metal project from Lugo, Galicia, Spain that emerged in 2024. They bring raw black metal fury from one of the oldest cities in northwestern Spain.
Power metal band from Jyvaskyla, Finland formed in 2017. They deliver epic, melodic power metal from central Finland.
Laying down tracks since 2014, this Odintsovo Death Metal and Melodic Death Metal outfit delivers labyrinthine song structures built on chromatic riff mazes. Their place within Russia's sprawling, uncompromising metal landscape speaks to the depth of the region's heavy music culture.
Wrocław's metal underground has produced no shortage of heavy acts, and this stoner metal unit is among them — wielding wah-soaked leads and bass-heavy grooves in the tradition of Kyuss and Sleep. Uncompromising in their vision, they deliver exactly what their audience demands.
Kiruna-based power metal act, active since 2017 delivering uplifting harmonic progressions and virtuosic instrumental interplay. Rooted in Sweden's legendary metal infrastructure, anthemic choruses and virtuosic solos define their approach.
