Brno-based act blending thrash, death metal, and metalcore into a volatile cocktail of Czech extreme metal. Their genre-crossing approach pairs breakneck riffing with modern metalcore dynamics.
Stavanger-based doom metal and stoner metal act, active since 2015 delivering wah-soaked leads and bass-heavy grooves in the tradition of Kyuss and Sleep. Rooted in Norway's storied extreme metal lineage, their sound resists easy categorization, blending influences into something distinctly their own.
Swiss doom-sludge outfit from Solothurn active from 2020 to 2025, whose self-titled LP and Dethroned Forever EP deliver crushing, slow-burning heaviness with tracks stretching past eight minutes. Their grinding, weighted production draws comparisons to Dopethrone and The Obsessed.
Kala Sumeriah is a stoner/groove metal band from Mendoza, Argentina, featuring vocalist Gus Banco Pravata, guitarist Edu Palladino, bassist Martin Fumarola, and drummer Alvaro Garcia Bensi. Their fourth studio album, Wormoboros, was released on April 27, 2022, produced by the band and recorded at The Arrival Studio.
Bologna-based metalcore and progressive metal act, active since 2021 delivering technical virtuosity in service of expansive, cinematic narratives. Rooted in the Mediterranean peninsula's diverse metal ecosystem, their sound resists easy categorization, blending influences into something distinctly their own.
Tyumen-based black metal act, active since 2019 delivering dissonant chord progressions shrouded in reverb-drenched malice. Rooted in one of Eastern Europe's most extreme metal communities, atmosphere and hostility share equal billing in their work.
Erie, Pennsylvania's Kalanthes weave black metal atmosphere and melodic death metal songwriting into a single dark tapestry, a combination the band has been refining since 2018. Their Lake Erie location gives their sound an appropriately cold and remote quality.
The Italian city of Civitanova Marche (Macerata) serves as headquarters for this power metal and thrash metal operation, whose arsenal includes circle-pit anthems driven by relentless double-kick propulsion. Speed and precision collide in pit-ready anthems.
Atmospheric black metal project from Germany, formed in 2023 and building vast, immersive soundscapes over a black metal foundation. Their name means "cold" in Norwegian, fitting their chilling, expansive sonic approach.
