Cincinnati's Milkman arrived in 2024 playing melodic black metal under a name deliberately at odds with the darkness of the genre. The juxtaposition isn't purely ironic — the band balances the frigid tremolo-and-blast architecture of black metal with melodic hooks sharp enough to cut through the cold.
Blazing Melodic Power Metal from Arlington.

Originally formed in Ypres, Belgium in 2012 as The Curse of Millhaven, this melodic death metal band rebranded to Millhaven in 2023 and celebrated their tenth anniversary at Graspop Metal Meeting and Ieperfest in 2022. Their 2024 album 'Dualism' features eight tracks of fast, groove-laced melodic death metal, following the earlier full-length 'Thresholds', and the band continues to develop their sound toward a darker, more aggressive direction.
Millhouse is a heavy metal band from Most, Czech Republic, formed in 2025. They represent the newest generation of Czech heavy metal, emerging from a city with deep industrial roots in the Ústí nad Labem region.
Milliard is a black/death metal band from Krasnodar, Russia, formed in 2016. They forge extreme metal at the fierce intersection of black and death metal.
Milligan is a death metal act from Vysoké Mýto, Czech Republic, one of the longer-running projects in the Czech underground with roots stretching back to 1996. Their decades of activity mark them as veterans of the Eastern Bohemian extreme metal scene.
Millstone is a London-based heavy metal and hard rock act, formed in 2020 with a sound rooted in classic metal traditions. The band delivers riff-heavy, hook-laden compositions from the heart of the UK capital.
New Orleans' Mimic came together in 2023 and play progressive thrash metal — a pairing that puts technical ambition inside the relentless forward motion of thrash. Their Louisiana origins don't surface in any obvious genre way, but the city's deep tradition of musical cross-pollination seems to underpin their willingness to push the thrash template toward something stranger.
