Italian heavy metal act, active since 2016 delivering classic metal thunder with a modern edge. Rooted in a scene steeped in operatic grandeur and crushing heaviness, the production keeps things raw and honest — no frills, all metal.
Killery is a groove/thrash metal quintet from São Luís, Maranhão, Brazil, formed in 2019. Their debut album, Ready for the Apocalypse (2019), features nine tracks that blend aggressive thrash riffing with melodic elements and unconventional harmonic progressions, and was independently recorded and mixed at Killery Studios and KM4 Produções in São Luís. The cover art was produced by Caio Caldas, a designer known for work with Paul Di'Anno, Doro, and DragonForce.
A product of Ireland's Celtic-tinged metal scene, this Dublin-based death metal and thrash metal act channels punishing grooves interlocked with frenzied tremolo passages. Active since 2011, primal ferocity drives every note of their catalog.
Black/thrash metal band from Beckingen in the Saarland, active since 2008 and fusing blackened fury with thrash velocity. Their irreverent name matches the blasphemous intensity of their sound.
New Orleans' Killgore came out of the gate swinging in 2022, mixing death metal's low-end crush with grindcore's sub-two-minute brutality in a city that knows how to make punishment feel celebratory.
Swedish groove metal band formed in 2022, delivering rhythmically driven, heavy riff-centered metal. Their approach emphasizes groove metal's characteristic mid-tempo punch and headbanging momentum.
Metalcore band from Athens, active since 2015 and delivering the genre's signature blend of hardcore aggression and metal precision. Their sound features the dynamic shifts between heavy breakdowns and melodic passages that characterize modern metalcore.
Tomsk's metal underground has produced no shortage of heavy acts, and this death metal and melodic death metal unit is among them — wielding HM-2 filth and d-beat fury in the old Swedish tradition. Their approach favors no-frills brutality over technical showmanship.
Fresh out of Asheville, North Carolina in 2025, Killiad brew sludge, stoner, and doom into something slow-boiled and heavy as wet earth. Asheville's fertile heavy underground provides the perfect conditions for this kind of deliberate, bone-deep metal.
