From the small town of Somerville, Tennessee, Glass Shrine has quietly cultivated a black metal sound built on atmosphere and sincerity since 2016. There's something devotional in their approach — fragile and fierce in equal measure.

Glassbone is a death metal band from Paris, France, formed in 2024, representing a fresh addition to the vibrant Parisian extreme metal underground. Their sound channels the aggressive intensity and sonic brutality central to the death metal tradition.
Power metal act from the town of Rajec formed in 2019, crafting soaring melodies and anthemic compositions from the mountains of northern Slovakia. Their triumphant sound channels the genre's tradition of uplifting energy and vocal-driven grandeur.
Glassgod is a progressive symphonic metal project from Leipzig, Germany, formed in 2023, blending complex progressive structures with orchestral symphonic elements. The project is a new addition to Leipzig's historically rich music scene.
