An Indiana progressive metal outfit formed in 2015, Farwatch explores the territory where metal's heaviness meets rock's melodic sensibility. Their sound is expansive and carefully arranged, leaning into the complexity that defines the progressive metal and rock crossover.

Lincoln, Nebraska's Fascinus Rex refuse to be pinned to one corner of heavy music — since 2019 they've been throwing together traditional heavy metal, doom, thrash, and crossover into a chaotic and energetic mix that feels genuinely unpredictable. Few bands in the Great Plains wear their eclecticism so unabashedly.
Cleveland's Fascist Insect have been waging sonic war since 2008, fusing the raw political fury of grindcore with the slow-burn punishment of doom and the street-level aggression of crossover. The combination sounds exactly as volatile as it should.
Fascistectomy is a grindcore band from Torelló, Spain, formed in 2019. The band delivers politically charged grindcore from the Catalan town in the Ter valley.
