Born on Cape Cod in 2021, Electric Tomb play heavy doom metal with an air of coastal isolation, their slow, tolling riffs carrying a kind of nautical bleakness that makes the Hyannis origins feel fitting.
West Palm Beach's Electric Void traffic in fuzzed-out stoner metal under the South Florida sun, the band's 777-branded Bandcamp presence signaling a devotion to the cosmic and the heavy in equal measure since 2019.
Drone doom duo from Jyvaskyla, Finland active since 2012, featuring two bass players and drums. They describe their sound as crushing and groovy stoner doom powered by two distorted, fuzzy bass guitars.
London-based heavy metal and nwobhm act, active since 2012 delivering old-school metal worship with genuine fire and conviction. Rooted in Britain's endlessly regenerating metal lineage, classic riffs and commanding vocals anchor every track.
Psychedelic post-black/doom metal and ambient project from Dresden, Germany, traversing vast sonic landscapes since 2020. Their provocatively named approach fuses psychedelia with extreme metal's heaviest tendencies in an expansive, genre-defying vision.
When Electricjezus emerged in 2012 from Dmitrov, they brought with them a sound rooted in doom metal and sludge metal — all Southern-fried heaviness with hardcore punk's confrontational energy. The combination of influences yields something more interesting than any single genre label implies.
Pushing the boundaries of thrash metal, this Swedish outfit from Umeå has been refining their craft since 2007. Their sound hinges on galloping rhythms and shredding leads that recall metal's golden age, delivered with total devotion.
Thrash metal and crossover act from Pamplona in Navarre, Spain, blending high-speed aggression with punk attitude since 2019. Their electrified eel name captures the shocking, high-voltage energy of their crossover thrash.
Stoner metal act from Karlsruhe, Germany, delivering heavy, fuzz-laden riffs with an electrified energy since 2007. Their nearly two-decade career reflects an enduring commitment to the groove-heavy, amplifier-worshipping side of metal.
