Progressive metal band from Oulu in northern Finland, formed in 2024. Their sound explores progressive metal territory from the Arctic gateway city.
Impium is a black metal band from the Basque Country, Spain, active since 2005, forging atmospheric black metal for two decades from the culturally distinct Basque region. The band's name — Latin for "impious" — signals their blasphemous intent.
Impius is a black metal/dungeon synth project from Spain, active since 2019, blending the raw aggression of black metal with the medieval atmosphere of dungeon synth. The band channels fantasy themes through a dual-genre approach that spans extremity and ambient composition.
Thrash metal/crossover/hardcore band from Leeds in West Yorkshire, active since 2018. Their sound fuses thrash with hardcore punk energy from the northern English industrial city.
Implement is a death metal band from Recife, Brazil, whose debut full-length album Bleeding Alone was released in 2019, produced, mixed, and mastered by Nenel Lucena at Mr. Prog. Studio in Recife. The trio — composed of Angelo Acácio on drums, Marcio Kizar on guitar, and Ivan Morderhay on bass and vocals — plays straightforward death metal with traces of thrash and grindcore.
Las Vegas's Implements of Hell evolved from deathcore roots into full-on slam brutality, their music as grotesque and relentless as the city they call home — formed in 2019 and getting heavier ever since.
Implexi is a progressive/power metal band from São Bernardo do Campo, São Paulo, Brazil, formed by Alecssandro Siqueira, Carlos Silva, and Renato Tanaka, later joined by vocalist Edu Gomes. The band released their debut EP Safest Shelter independently in May 2015, drawing on influences spanning classic heavy metal, power metal, progressive metal, and symphonic black metal. The name Implexi — Latin for "entangled" — reflects the band's aim to weave those diverse influences into a single sound.
Hudson Valley newcomers Implode arrived in 2024 dragging sludge metal's slow, crushing weight through the post-industrial quiet of Wappingers Falls, building dense, suffocating walls of noise with methodical intent.
Implodead is a death metal/death 'n' roll act from Bari, Italy, active since 2009 and fusing death metal's aggressive edge with the groove and swagger of rock and roll. The project delivers headbanging, riff-driven fury.
