A black metal project from the coastal Pomeranian town of Rumia, Memoria Vetus has been crafting dark compositions since 2020. The Latin name, meaning 'old memory,' channels ancestral recollection into atmospheric black metal.
Memorial Day is a gothic/doom/death metal band from Kelheim, Germany, active since 2015. Their sound interweaves the dark romanticism of gothic metal with the crushing weight of doom and death metal from the Bavarian underground.
Brooklyn death metal veterans Memorial Gore have been at it since 2013, building a catalog steeped in the Old School traditions that the New York underground has long revered — caveman riffing, sepulchral production, and a relentless forward momentum that references the genre's early 90s peak without feeling like mere nostalgia. New York City's death metal lineage is one of the most storied in the genre, and Memorial Gore fit naturally into that lineage while carving out their own particular brand of brutality. They remain one of Brooklyn's more consistent and uncompromising death metal exports.
Memorial of Sorrow is a groove metal and metalcore band from Omsk, Russia, exploring 'the toxicity of existence' through Russian-language lyrics. Their 2020 debut 'Memorable' delivers six tracks of heavy, groove-oriented metal with ambient soundscapes and deeply melancholic themes of depression and despair.
Memorial Park is a melodic gothic metal project from St. Ingbert, Germany, formed in 2025. Their sound combines the atmospheric darkness and emotional depth of gothic metal with melodic sensibility from the Saarland region.
Memoriam is a melodic death metal band from Nicosia, Cyprus, active since 2016. Their sound merges the harmonic sensibility of Scandinavian melodic death metal with the intensity of the Mediterranean underground metal scene.
Memories in Torment is a groove metal and metalcore band from Guildford, England, formed in 2013. They blend groove metal's rhythmic power with metalcore's aggressive dynamics.
Memories of a Lost Soul is a progressive/melodic death metal band from Reggio di Calabria, Italy, formed in 2016. They deliver powerful melodic death metal with harmonic sweep and emotive songwriting.
Memories of Ashes is a depressive black metal band from Ukraine, formed in 2022. They channel bleak, emotionally devastating black metal from the depths of despair.
