Heavy metal band from Tallinn, Estonia, formed in 2022. Their commanding sound carries the banner of traditional heavy metal in the Estonian capital's growing metal scene.
Raw black metal project from Barcelona, Spain, formed in 2024. Their lo-fi, ritualistic approach channels occult black metal from the Catalan underground.
Epic gothic metal band from Losheim, Germany, active since 2010. Their grand, orchestrally tinged gothic metal creates sweeping, atmospheric compositions from the Saarland countryside.
Melodic Power Metal force from Rome, volatile and relentless since 2016. Their work channels the iron spirit of traditional metal through anthemic songwriting.
Burlington, Vermont's Heralds of Galaktus bring cosmic-scale destruction down to a very terrestrial grindcore and death metal assault since 2018, naming themselves after a Marvel titan of annihilation while sounding like they could cause some themselves. Short, sharp, and obliterating.
Stoner rock and metal act from Manchester, active since 2018. Their colossal transformer-inspired name matches heavy, fuzz-drenched compositions from one of England's most vibrant music cities.
Herbarium is a post-black metal band from Kharkiv, Ukraine, formed in 2023. They push black metal into atmospheric, post-metal territory.
Herbicidal is a stoner/doom metal band from Bristol, United Kingdom, active since 2019 and delivering crushing, fuzz-laden heaviness where doom's oppressive weight meets stoner metal's hazy grooves. The project channels low-end power and psychedelic atmosphere.
Solo project from Gratwein, Austria helmed by Daemon Herbae, pioneering an unlikely fusion of black metal and reggae dubbed 'Herbal Black Metal.' Their 2026 self-titled debut on Dale of Shadows features three instrumental tracks that somehow make this audacious genre hybrid work.
