Marietta, Georgia's power/thrash hybrid flies dangerously close to the sun on wings of twin-guitar harmony and galloping rhythms, blending classic metal ambition with the sharpened-blade intensity of thrash.
New York progressive metal act whose layered song structures and shifting time signatures reward patient listeners, building elaborate compositions that carry the density of glacial formations in slow, inevitable motion.
Ice Ages is the solo electro-industrial project of Richard Lederer — known simultaneously as Protector in the influential Austrian black metal band Summoning — launched in Vienna in 1997. Where his other work leans on orchestral grandeur, Ice Ages pursues aggressive EBM and dark electronic textures across albums including Strike the Ground, This Killing Emptiness (Napalm Records, 2000), and Parasiting Dreams.
Ice Atrium is a black/death metal act from Luhansk, Ukraine, active since 2009 and merging the atmospheric darkness of black metal with death metal's crushing brutality. The project delivers fierce extremity at the crossroads of both genres.
Progressive death metal/metalcore band from Paris, France formed in 2021. Their sound pushes death metal and metalcore into progressive territory from the French capital.
Boston's prolific stoner/doom shapeshifters have been churning out hazy, low-slung riff workouts since 2007, their psychedelic tendencies pulling the heavy blues toward realms both cosmic and oppressively earthbound.
Progressive power/heavy metal band from Helsinki, Finland formed in 2024. Their sound blends progressive complexity with power and heavy metal from the Finnish capital.
Lowell, Massachusetts outfit that began in classic power metal territory and evolved into something far more ferocious — symphonic melodic death metal of genuine scope, with orchestral grandeur underpinning serious heaviness.
Ice in Eyes is a groove metal band from Thessaloniki, Greece, active since 2013 and delivering heavy, rhythmic riffage with crushing mid-tempo intensity. The project channels the headbanging immediacy of groove metal.
