Red Lion, Pennsylvania's Magnus have been navigating progressive metal and rock with a deliberate, craft-focused approach since 2010. Their songwriting prioritizes depth over flash, reflecting a DIY ethos native to the rural Pennsylvania scene.
Magnus Ficus is a doom and post-metal band from Madrid, Spain, formed in 2019. They blend doom metal's oppressive heaviness with post-metal's atmospheric dynamics and textural exploration.
Blazing Power Metal from San Marcos.
A melodic death metal act from the Atlantic city of Nantes, Magnyfall emerged in 2022 with a sound blending Scandinavian melodeath harmonies with French musical sensibility. The band represents the continued growth of western France's metal underground.
Magor is a heavy and groove metal band from Jászberény, Hungary, formed in 2012. Named after the Hungarian mythological figure, they blend heavy and groove metal traditions.
A doom metal act from the remote eastern Hungarian village of Görbeháza, Bearfood has been delivering crushing heaviness since 2000. The band proves that devastating doom can emerge from even the most rural corners of the Great Hungarian Plain.
Magoth is a black metal band from Bonn, Germany, whose self-described "anti-terrestrial" approach spans releases like "Der Toten Gesang," "Zeitgeist: Dystopia," and "Invictus." Their dystopian-themed black metal channels an otherworldly hostility that sets them apart from the genre's traditional earthbound darkness.
Magothy is a melodic black metal band from Moscow, Russia, formed in 2016. They craft atmospheric melodic black metal with sweeping melodies and emotional depth.
Magrudergrind formed in Washington, DC in September 2002, building a relentless noise-core and grindcore attack from their early primitive demo phase through increasingly refined recordings. The band released a self-titled album on Willowtip Records in 2009 and followed it with II (2016) on Relapse Records, recorded with producer Kurt Ballou at Godcity Studio, which incorporated sharper thrash riffing alongside their characteristic blast-beat brutality. Now based in Brooklyn, the band has remained active through consistent lineup changes over more than two decades.
