Graceful Degradation is a deathcore band from Moscow, Russia, formed in 2026 and representing the newest generation of Russian extreme metal. The project delivers crushing breakdowns and guttural fury.
Old-school death/doom metal act from Leiden founded by Remco Kreft of Soulburn fame, risen from the ashes of Nailgun Massacre and Xenomorph. Their four full-lengths, including 2025's 'Icons of Ruin' on Listenable Records, pay homage to the primordial heaviness of Bolt Thrower, Asphyx, and early Dutch death metal.
Grad is a groove/thrash metal band from Tychy in Upper Silesia, active since 2004. Over two decades of rhythmically charged metal from the Silesian industrial belt.
Columbus, Ohio's Grael began life trading in gothic doom and pivoted toward psychedelic stoner territory, tracing a natural arc from shadow to smoke. Their music carries an underlying mysticism that connects both phases of their evolution.

Self-described practitioners of 'Primitieve Nederlandstalige Necrorock,' their albums like 'De Zoute Kwel' and 'De Tyfus, De Teerling' have made them flagbearers of the Utrecht underground scene.
Grafnár is a blackened grindcore and metalcore band from Reykjavík, Iceland, active since 2019 and blending blackened aggression with the chaotic velocity of grindcore and metalcore breakdowns. The project operates at the extreme fringes of Iceland's metal scene.
