Medecophobic was a brutal death metal band from Munich, Germany, active from 2006 to 2016 with releases "Pandemic of Existence" (2011) and "Escalation" (2014). Their technically-oriented approach to brutal death metal delivered intense, compressed blasts of extremity across their decade-long run.
Meden Agan is a gothic and symphonic metal band from Athens, Greece, formed in 2014. Their Greek name meaning "nothing in excess" captures their balanced approach to dark, symphonic metal.
A atmospheric black metal project from Italy, Medenera has been crafting expansive, immersive compositions since 2018. The project layers dense atmospherics over tremolo-driven black metal foundations.
A death metal act from Nacka near Stockholm, Medevil has been delivering aggressive compositions since 2016. The band channels the medieval evil of their name into dark, old-school death metal.
Mediadhor hit the ground running with two releases in quick succession: the demo "Caminho do Arrependimento" in late 2016 and the full-length "Campos Mortais" in early 2017. Their approach fuses the grinding aggression of death metal with thrash's rhythmic momentum, giving the material a relentless, forward-charging quality.

Tulsa's Medicine Horse emerged in 2023 at the intersection of Southern metal, sludge, and doom — a fitting combination for Oklahoma's red-dirt expanse and oil-field grimness. Their sound is slow and swamp-thick, dragging humid riffs through the kind of landscape that breeds spiritual weight.
