Omaha's Megaton have been lobbing stoner metal warheads since 2020, anchoring their sound in the same fuzz-drenched, slow-burn groove that defines the genre's most compelling work. Their Bandcamp handle — megatonsword — telegraphs the intent: heavy as a blunt object, delivered with ceremonial weight.
Megaton Sword is an epic heavy metal band from Winterthur, Switzerland, formed in 2020, who describe themselves as hailing from the mythical realm of Niralet. With releases including 'Niralet,' 'Blood Hails Steel - Steel Hails Fire,' and 'Might & Power,' they forge triumphant, sword-swinging anthems in the grand tradition of epic heavy metal, drawing on Manilla Road and Cirith Ungol as spiritual forebears.
Megatron is a stoner rock and metal act from Manchester, delivering fuzz-laden grooves since 2018. Not to be confused with any Transformers villain, the band channels the loose, heavy energy of classic stoner rock through Manchester's legendary music scene.
Megazetor is a progressive and technical death metal band from Göd, Hungary, active since 2004. With over two decades of activity, they deliver technically demanding death metal.
Megazostrodon is a death/doom metal band from Cologne, Germany, named after one of Earth's earliest mammalian ancestors. Their 2020 self-titled EP delivers two tracks of dense, crushing doom-death with massive, hovering riffs that draw from cosmic and atmospheric doom traditions.
Megelnyk is an old-school death metal band from Písek, Czech Republic, whose 2022 debut "Proklaté příběhy z Píseckých hor" weaves dark folklore and local mythology into five tracks of crushing metal. Their Czech-language lyrics draw from the supernatural legends and tragic history of the Písek mountain region.
A black metal project from the Warsaw area, Meghorash has been crafting dark compositions since 2013. The project delivers atmospheric black metal from the Masovian underground.
Megiddo is a melodic death/thrash metal band from Bremerhaven, Germany, formed in 2021. Named after the biblical site of Armageddon, their sound merges melodic death metal's harmonic sophistication with thrash's aggressive attack.
