Mayhemic Wrath is a black metal band from Kyiv, Ukraine, active since at least 2013. Their discography includes the 2014 EP 'Total Holocaust Of God Believers,' the 2016 full-length 'О, Великая Мать! Ты Черное Пламя! Ты Вечная Мудрость!,' and a 2020 split 'The Four Harbingers Of Death,' channeling raw satanic extremity from the Ukrainian underground.
After leaving Underoath, Dallas Taylor formed Maylene and the Sons of Disaster to pursue a grittier blend of southern metal, hardcore, and outlaw country that owed as much to Lynyrd Skynyrd as it did to Norma Jean. Albums like 'II' and 'III' deliver whiskey-soaked riffs and Taylor's distinctive growl over a foundation of swaggering, dirty southern grooves.
Maymon is a solo black metal project from Sardinia, Italy, inspired by philosophy and the darkness of human thought. The project has maintained a prolific output since the 2023 EP, followed by 'Oscuro E Profondo' (2024) and both 'Incenso' and 'Inferno' in 2025.
Mayon is a sludge/post-metal band from Opava, Czech Republic, formed in 2018. Their sound inhabits the heavy, atmospheric territory where crushing sludge riffs meet the expansive dynamics and textural layering of post-metal.
Mayzel is a thrash/death metal band from Katowice, Poland, formed in 2015. They forge aggressive extreme metal at the crossroads of death and thrash.
Mazauk is a German black metal trio whose 2021 debut demo "Obsession of Killing" delivers five tracks of raw, black 'n' roll-tinged black metal across thirteen minutes. The band features Vanta on guitars, Ungestalt on vocals, and Thulium on drums and mixing.
Maze of Heaven is a symphonic power metal band from Milan, Italy, formed in 2011. They combine orchestral grandeur with power metal's soaring energy.
A deathcore act from Dresden, Maze of Lies has been delivering breakdown-heavy compositions since 2016. The band channels the labyrinthine deception of their name into crushing, aggressive deathcore.
Maze of Madness play straightforward heavy and thrash metal with a raw, stripped-back energy, releasing their debut album "Mass Hatred" in July 2022 shortly after forming. The eight-track record plants the band firmly in the tradition of classic thrash aggression without straying far from the genre's foundational template.
