New York's Kevorkian have been at the intersection of death and groove metal since 2013, fusing the genre's extremity with the mid-paced, headbanging punch that groove metal demands.
Also hailing from New York, Kevorkianesque take the brutal death metal template and push it to its logical extremes — relentless, pulverizing, and technically accomplished in the service of maximum punishment since 2016.
Finnish black metal project formed in 2018, with a name meaning "spring sacrifice" in Finnish. Their sound channels ancient pagan ritual and seasonal mythology through raw black metal.
Black metal project from Thessaloniki, formed in 2025 and emerging from one of Greece's most vital cities for extreme metal. Their sound channels the raw aggression and dark atmosphere of the genre's most committed practitioners.
Key of Salomon is a Brazilian black metal band whose discography includes the demos Summoning of the Night Spirits (1998) and Illecebrarum Infernalis (1999), both self-released. The band operated in the raw, underground tradition of Brazilian black metal and has since split up.
Progressive/stoner metal and rock band from Lille, formed in 2025 and blending progressive complexity with fuzz-drenched stoner grooves. Their geological name suggests the foundational, bedrock heaviness of their sound.
Symphonic/atmospheric black metal project from Germany, active since 2012 and layering orchestral grandeur over black metal's dark intensity. Their compositions build vast, cinematic soundscapes around tremolo-picked aggression.
KEYGEN CHURCH is a Rome-based solo electronic project launched in 2018 by Vittorio D'Amore, the same musician behind MASTER BOOT RECORD. The project renders neoclassical and baroque forms — sonatas, cantatas, and pipe organ chorales — through entirely digital synthesis, described by D'Amore as synth metal with a cathedral-scale sound achieved via Cubase and high-end VST instruments. Releases include the debut ░ ▒ ▓ █ (2018) and Nel Nome Del Codice (2024), with the project eventually signing to Metal Blade Records.
Murfreesboro, Tennessee's Keymaster have been delivering classic heavy/power metal since 2005, with the kind of dual-guitar heroics, strong melodies, and earnest delivery that keeps traditional metal alive and vital.
