Legendary German power metal band from Fulda, one of the genre's most celebrated acts worldwide since their founding in 1995. With a career spanning three decades, Edguy helped define the European power metal sound alongside contemporaries like Helloween and Gamma Ray.
Groove and stoner metal band from Dublin, Ireland active since 2015. They bring heavy, riff-driven grooves from Dublin's vibrant metal scene.
Los Angeles newcomers forged in 2025, Edicius crash together heavy metal muscle, thrash aggression, and hardcore attitude into a raw, street-level racket. Early days, but the formula is combative and direct.
Out of Kenosha, Wisconsin since 2014, Edict of Nantes builds at the crossroads of metalcore structure and deathcore weight, taking their name from a historical decree and filtering it through a decade of underground heaviness.
Tucson's desert heat makes for an unlikely home for black metal, but Edicule — formed in 2021 — has carved out a cold and uncompromising niche in the Arizona underground, where isolation and scorched landscapes lend the music an eerie desolation.
New Jersey's Edifice, active since 2015, stacks brutal death metal's punishing low end against progressive architecture and deathcore breakdown dynamics, creating something towering and technically demanding. The name fits: every song feels like a structure built to withstand enormous pressure.
Heavy metal and hard rock act from Switzerland, keeping the flame of classic rock-infused metal burning since 2012. Their sound merges the energy of hard rock with the heavier edge of traditional metal.
Black metal and pagan metal band from Athens, Greece with roots stretching back to 1996. They are among the earlier Hellenic pagan black metal acts.
Part of Slovakia's modest but dedicated extreme metal community, this act channels groove metal and thrash metal with a focus on breakneck tempos and razor-sharp riff attacks. Formed in 2008, based in Martin, every track is a masterclass in controlled chaos and kinetic energy.
