The Polish city of Wrocław serves as headquarters for this heavy metal and power metal operation, whose arsenal includes Helloween-school optimism forged in twin-guitar brilliance. The emphasis falls on melody, speed, and unapologetic triumphalism.
One of the more singular acts in American heavy music, Eagle Twin emerged from Salt Lake City in 2009 to build an uncompromising wall of drone-heavy sludge doom, where riffs don't so much crush as they slowly collapse under their own gravity.
Eaglenest was a black metal band from Buenos Aires, Argentina, active from 2012 to 2014. During their brief existence they released the EP "Supremacy" (2013) through Argenreich Records, the Argentine label dedicated to underground metal releases. The band split up in 2014 leaving "Supremacy" as their sole recorded output.
Eagles of Death Metal is the garage rock brainchild of Jesse Hughes and Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme, formed in Palm Desert, California in 1998. Despite the misleading name, the band plays loose, swaggering blues-punk that owes more to the Rolling Stones and MC5 than to any metal tradition. Their catalog of feel-good, riff-driven rock and roll, including 'Peace Love Death Metal' and 'Heart On,' is built for dancing rather than headbanging, powered by Hughes' irreverent charisma.
Denver newcomers Eaglewing launched in 2024 with a straightforward heavy metal identity in a city whose underground has grown considerably in recent years — young, loud, and just getting started.
Bari's metal underground has produced no shortage of heavy acts, and this progressive metal and symphonic metal unit is among them — wielding labyrinthine compositions spanning multiple movements and moods. Their sound resists easy categorization, blending influences into something distinctly their own.
Black metal act from Madrid, Spain, channeling raw, atmospheric darkness since 2010. Their approach brings the cold intensity of black metal to the sun-drenched Spanish capital.
Portland's Ealdath has been threading doom and death metal together since 2014, drawing on the Northwest's overcast atmosphere to give their sound a particularly cold and funereal weight.
Black metal project from Wiltshire, England formed in 2020. Their Old English name evokes ancient enemies, channeling Anglo-Saxon darkness through black metal.
