San Diego's Elysian blend traditional heavy metal with hard rock's melodic accessibility, a combination that keeps the music approachable without sacrificing the weight that makes it worth returning to.

Doom/death metal veterans from Iserlohn in Germany's Sauerland region, with roots stretching back to 1996. Named after the Greek afterlife, their nearly three-decade career has produced a catalog steeped in the mournful, crushing atmosphere of doom/death metal.
A product of a growing underground metal community, this Eischen-based symphonic metal act channels cinematic sweep and operatic vocals over thundering metal arrangements. Active since 2014, the combination of influences yields something more interesting than any single genre label implies.
