Moaning Silence is an atmospheric doom and melodic metal band from Athens, Greece. Their 2020 album 'A Waltz Into Darkness,' produced by Bob Katsionis and released on Symmetric Records, features dual male/female vocals, orchestral textures, and gothic atmospherics across eight tracks exploring darkness and philosophical introspection.
Mob Rules is a melodic power metal band from Wilhelmshaven in northern Germany, formed in 1994 and rooted in classic heavy metal, NWOBHM, and progressive metal. With over three decades of activity and a catalog spanning ten-plus albums including Beast Reborn and Tales From Beyond, they celebrated their 30th anniversary with the compilation Celebration Day.
Toledo, Ohio's Mobile Deathcamp play a thrash-forward, hardcore-inflected attack that sits closer to the pit than the stadium, with a raw DIY sensibility running through releases like Black Swamp Rising and Summon the Destroyer. Formed in 2021, they hit hard and fast with no interest in polish.
A groove metal act from Norway, Mobilize has been delivering rhythmically charged compositions since 2008. The band channels the mobilizing energy of their name into thick, mid-tempo riffs.
Chicago's Mobius Chair approach atmospheric sludge metal through a conceptual, science-fiction lens — the project frames itself as a journey to the red rectangle nebula, giving the slow, heavy riffing a strangely cosmic dimension. Formed in 2021, they bring an unusual narrative ambition to Chicago's underground heavy scene.
Mobiustrip is a progressive metal and rock band from Leganés, Spain, formed in 2013. They craft intricate progressive compositions blending metal heaviness with rock's melodic sensibilities.
Baltimore's Mobula have been navigating the psychedelic end of sludge and doom since 2016, layering heavy riffs with acid-washed, hallucinatory textures that set them apart from the rawer side of their genre. Their sound draws as much from cosmic rock as from the Chesapeake's notoriously thick heavy underground.
Moby Dick is a NWOBHM-inspired heavy metal band from Northwich, England, formed in 2011. They channel the classic British heavy metal tradition.
Moby Dig is a psychedelic doom and stoner metal trio from Leipzig, Germany, formed in 2018. Self-described as a three-headed stoner collective with the motto "stay high and slow," they deliver crushing, haze-drenched doom and stoner metal.
