Eldengard is a folk and power metal band from San José, Costa Rica, formed in 2017. The band draws on fantasy and folk influences within an upbeat power metal framework and has released tracks including Red Eagle and Las Glorias del Ardèn through independent channels. They self-describe as a power metal act rooted in the Costa Rican scene.
Epic black/pagan metal band from Naberezhnye Chelny in Tatarstan, Russia active since 1998 — over 25 years of epic metal from the Volga-Ural region. Their longevity and Tatar Republic origins make them one of the most unique acts in Russian pagan metal.
Independence, Kentucky's EldenWhite arrived in 2024 with a progressive death metal approach that suggests ambitions well beyond the band's nascent existence. Technical ferocity and melodic sophistication already compete for space in their sound.
Elder transcended their early stoner doom origins in Boston to become one of progressive rock's most celebrated modern acts. Albums like 'Lore' and 'Omens' weave together heavy psych, krautrock, and progressive rock into sweeping compositions that build and evolve with patient, masterful pacing. Their instrumental passages recall the adventurous spirit of classic prog while maintaining a heavy foundation that keeps them rooted in the rock underground.
Doom and sludge metal band from Ballymena, Northern Ireland active since 2015, blending fuzzy, hazy riffs with occult themes. Their catalog includes Golgotha, Carmina Satanae, and Magicka, channeling the spirit of Down, early Melvins, and Kyuss.
Šiauliai's metal underground has produced no shortage of heavy acts, and this black metal unit is among them — wielding venomous shrieks over walls of distortion. The compositions unfold with ritualistic patience and venomous intent.
Krasnyy Chikoy's metal underground has produced no shortage of heavy acts, and this death metal and melodic death metal unit is among them — wielding HM-2 filth and d-beat fury in the old Swedish tradition. Their approach favors no-frills brutality over technical showmanship.
Kharkiv-based black metal and symphonic metal act, active since 2013 delivering lush keyboard atmospherics layered over crushing rhythmic power. Rooted in one of Eastern Europe's most resilient metal scenes, uncompromising in their vision, they deliver exactly what their audience demands.
Nashville's Eldercall has been bringing symphonic weight and melodic death metal intensity to Music City since 2020. Orchestral grandeur and melodic ferocity are the defining elements of their approach.
