Mouthpeace is a progressive death/thrash metal band from Stockholm, Sweden, formed in 2012. They forge aggressive extreme metal at the crossroads of death and thrash.
Movarbru are a long-running Satanic black metal band from Sapiranga, Rio Grande do Sul, whose sound draws from the raw South American underground tradition. Their 2020 EP 'Sob o Domínio do Antigo Culto,' recorded at From Hellcords Studios in Porto Alegre, was released as a 300-copy limited edition through Cianeto Discos and features the band's core themes of occultism and anti-Christian fury.
Chicago black metal project Movarth emerged in 2024, channeling the urban isolation of the Midwest into raw, coldly atmospheric black metal that draws on both the Scandinavian tradition and a distinctly American sense of desolation.
Movements formed in Rancho Santa Margarita, California, in 2015 and quickly became one of the most recognizable bands in the emo-leaning post-hardcore revival. The group's lineup of Patrick Miranda, Ira George, Austin Cressey, and Spencer York built its identity on tightly wound guitar work, confessional vocals, and lyrics that confront mental health, grief, intimacy, and emotional exhaustion. After signing with Fearless Records following their earliest live activity, Movements released Outgrown Things in 2016, an EP that introduced their blend of spoken-word intensity, melodic post-hardcore, and soft-grunge atmosphere. Their 2017 debut album Feel Something became the defining release of their early career, with "Daylily," "Colorblind," "Full Circle," and "Deadly Dull" turning vulnerability into anthemic, cathartic rock. No Good Left to Give followed in 2020 with a darker, more spacious tone, while RUCKUS! in 2023 pushed the band toward more varied rhythms, sharper hooks, and broader alternative rock textures. Movements remain rooted in emotionally transparent post-hardcore, but their catalog shows a steady move from raw catharsis toward more expansive and unpredictable songwriting.
Mover is a heavy metal and hard rock act from Amsterdam, active since 2017. The band delivers energetic, riff-driven compositions from the Dutch capital's diverse music scene.
Hailing from Calumet City, Illinois, Moving Thru Black formed in 2022 and deal in straightforward, no-frills death metal that leans into the gritty industrial edge of the south Chicago suburbs.
A sludge metal act from Manchester, Mower has been delivering crushing, distortion-laden heaviness since 2011. The band channels the post-industrial grit of the city into relentless, abrasive compositions.
Concord, California's Mox Morbus have been building their Bay Area death metal sound since 2012, carrying forward the region's long tradition of technically inclined, riff-forward brutality with a relentless and uncompromising approach.
