Lublin-based death metal and thrash metal act, active since 2018 delivering technically precise fretwork wrapped in visceral brutality. Rooted in one of Eastern Europe's most formidable metal communities, their recordings carry the stench of early 90s death metal worship.
Existência Desperdiçada is a solo melancholic black metal project from São Paulo, Brazil, with all instruments and vocals handled by Apático. The project released at least two albums, Lamúria e Trauma and Suspiros de Quem Não Aguenta Mais Viver, exploring themes of despair and emotional collapse.
Speed/black'n'roll band from Pordenone in northeastern Italy, self-described as channeling "speed/black'n'roll from Italian north-east wastelands." Their discography includes the albums The Witch Trials and No Escape From the Catacomb alongside live recordings, delivering raw, high-velocity metal with a punk-fueled attitude.
Exit Eden is a symphonic metal supergroup assembled in 2017 at Elephant Studios in Flensburg, Germany, featuring vocalists Amanda Somerville (Avantasia), Marina La Torraca (Phantom Elite), Clémentine Delauney (Visions of Atlantis), and Anna Brunner. The project was conceived to demonstrate that pop songs could be credibly transformed into metal arrangements, and their debut album Rhapsodies in Black (2017) on Napalm Records — covering songs by Rihanna, Madonna, and Lady Gaga — reached number 15 on the German album charts. Their second album Femmes Fatales (2024) shifted toward original songwriting while retaining the melodic, symphonic template.
Florida's Exit Life operate at the intersection of death metal, hardcore, and metalcore, crafting music since 2014 that hits with the blunt force of the Sunshine State's long-standing extreme music tradition. Their crossover positioning means they're equally at home in the pit and the underground metal venue.

Thrash metal act from Hamburg, Germany, delivering explosive, high-speed aggression since 2013. Their violently evocative name captures the destructive energy of their no-holds-barred thrash approach.
Progressive and groove metal project from Belgium, formed in 2020, blending intricate progressive structures with the rhythmic punch of groove metal. Their sound balances cerebral complexity with physical, riff-driven heaviness.
