Melomaniak is a heavy metal and hard rock band from Santiago, Chile whose lineup includes Claudio Melo, Guillermo Ananias, Fernando Forttes, and Nicolás Rosales. The band performs entirely in Spanish and has released two albums: Comprando Horror (2017) and El Adversario (2019).
Melona is a symphonic power metal band from Penza, Russia, formed in 2016. They combine orchestral grandeur with power metal's soaring energy.
A stoner and doom metal act from London, Melonweed emerged in 2022 with a sound drenched in fuzzy distortion and languid grooves. The band adds to the capital's thriving stoner doom scene with a hazy, psychedelia-tinged approach.
Sydney's Melrose Avenue are a pop-metal quartet who seamlessly blend infectious pop melodies with the raw intensity of metalcore, led by Vlado Saric's dynamic vocal shifts between melodious singing and raucous screams. Signed to Hopeless Records in 2024, the band draws influence from Bring Me The Horizon and A Day To Remember while carving their own lane in the emerging pop-metalcore movement. Tracks like 'Suffering' and 'Fool And The Beggar' showcase their talent for pairing punchy instrumentals with massive hooks.
Meltdawn is a thrash and groove metal band from Grenoble, France, formed in 2025. They blend thrash metal's velocity with groove metal's rhythmic drive from the French Alps.
MeltDown is a six-piece melodic death metal band from Prague, Czech Republic, formed in 2016 by musicians from diverse backgrounds. Their approach emphasizes melody-driven compositions and euphoric energy over stereotypical aggression, with lyrical themes drawn from cosmic horror.
Meltdown A.F. is a thrash metal band from Béthune, France, formed in 2017. They deliver relentless thrash metal aggression from the Pas-de-Calais region.
Formed in 2025 in Bozeman, Montana, Melted Eyes represent something rare in death metal: a band emerging from a landscape more associated with wilderness than metal scenes, channeling that geographic isolation into a sound that feels genuinely removed from any obvious metropolitan influence. Their approach to death metal leans into brutality and atmosphere equally, suggesting a project built from the ground up with little concern for trend or precedent. Bozeman is not a city that produces death metal acts often, which makes the existence of Melted Eyes all the more striking.
A blackened stoner metal act from Dunfermline in Fife, Melted Messiah blends the fuzz and groove of stoner metal with the aggression of black metal since 2019. The band creates an unusual hybrid from the Scottish underground.
