Finnish death metal trio from the eastern town of Kitee, active since 2020, channeling the filthy spirit of early Autopsy, Funebre, and Rottrevore. Their three albums of festering, old-school death metal have earned them a devoted following among connoisseurs of putrid extremity.
Hall of Gods is a neoclassical heavy metal project founded by São Paulo multi-instrumentalist Rafael Agostino, also known for his work with Armored Dawn. The project released its debut album A Tribute to the Gods of Music in 2025 through Abigail Records, featuring heavy metal reinterpretations of works by composers including Beethoven, Bach, Mozart, Grieg, and Carlos Gomes. The album features guest vocalists Zak Stevens, Ralf Scheepers, Ronnie Romero, and Snowy Shaw, among others.
Atmospheric Doom/Death Metal act from Jyväskylä in Finland, active since 2017 and delivering devastating extremity. Drawing on classic blueprints, they deliver visceral extremity with conviction.
Black metal project from Geneva, Switzerland, formed in 2021. Their sound carries the cold precision of Swiss black metal, channeling Alpine darkness through austere, unforgiving compositions.
Ocean Springs, Mississippi's Hallelujah Gangbang match their provocative name with sludge and doom metal dredged straight from the Gulf Coast swamp — slow, mean, and spiritually filthy since 2016.
Heavy metal band from Valladolid, Spain, formed in 2020. Their powerful sound channels classic heavy metal energy from the historic capital of Castilla y Leon.
Black metal band from Bochum, Germany, active since 2011. Named after the small, storm-battered North Sea islands off the German coast, they craft atmospheric black metal that evokes desolate maritime landscapes.
Hailing from Essex in United Kingdom, this heavy metal outfit channels aggressive energy since 2016. Anthemic choruses and driving rhythms characterize their particular brand of metal.
One of Maine's most idiosyncratic metal acts, Hallowed Butchery have spent over fifteen years refusing to settle — beginning as a black/grind project and gradually morphing into something incorporating doom, folk, and experimental elements. Based in Kennebec County, their music sounds like it grew out of the woods rather than any rehearsal space.
