A death/thrash metal band formed in 1988 in Dampremy, Hainaut, Belgium, featuring a multi-piece lineup including vocalist Serge Natalizio and guitarist Dan Vandeplas. They recorded the demo 'Vision of Terror' in 1989, representing Wallonia's early extreme metal underground before the band's dissolution in the early 1990s.
Meteor is a heavy and thrash metal band from Le Poiré-sur-Vie, France, formed in 2015. They fuse classic heavy metal with thrash's aggressive momentum.
Meteora is a symphonic metal band from Budapest, Hungary, formed in 2015. They layer orchestral grandeur over heavy metal from the Hungarian capital.
Vancouver, Washington's Meterse operate in the slow, heavy, and hallucinatory space where psychedelic doom lives — a sound of enormous riffs moving at deliberate tempos while lysergic textures unspool above them. Formed in 2017, the band embodies the Pacific Northwest's long tradition of heavy music that leans into mood and atmosphere rather than aggression alone. Their psychedelic doom approach makes them a natural draw for listeners who want their heaviness wrapped in fog and distortion.

Meth 'n' Weapons is a sludge metal band from Nuremberg, Germany, formed in 2025. Their name and genre signal a commitment to the genre's most abrasive, uncompromising traditions.
San Luis Obispo's Meth Leppard play exactly the kind of scuzzy, riff-addled rock that their gleefully irreverent name promises — a collision of stoner metal's THC-soaked grooves with thrash metal's punk-derived velocity. Formed in 2015 on California's Central Coast, they stake out a territory between the desert rock tradition and thrash 'n' roll swagger, keeping things loose and heavy in equal measure. They are a party band in the best sense: unpretentious, loud, and built for the stage.
Methadone is a progressive death metal band from Karlsruhe, Germany, active since 2012. Their sound combines the brutality of death metal with progressive compositional ambition, creating technically demanding extreme music.
Methal Kyrios is a thrash metal band from Santa Rosa, La Pampa, Argentina, formed by guitarist Santiago Robles, bassist/vocalist Mauro Queupul, and drummer Federico Montero. They have released two full-length albums — Disipando Tinieblas (2018) and Síndrome Oscuro (2021) — and were working on a third record titled ULTRA as of early 2026.
