Leesburg, Virginia's Mvrdvrkvltvr pursue a blackened death metal assault since 2020, their deliberately obscured name matching the dense, misanthropic fog they generate across their underground output.
Mvthfvlovdvrt is a raw black metal and noise project from the UK, formed in 2018. They channel abrasive extremity through a harsh blend of raw black metal and noise.
MWWB is a psychedelic stoner, sludge, and doom metal act from Wrexham in North Wales, delivering expansive, mind-altering heaviness since 2021. The band layers psychedelic textures over crushing doom foundations, creating immersive sonic landscapes.

MxPx are a Bremerton, Washington punk rock band whose melodic speed and earnest songwriting helped define 1990s Christian punk, skate punk, and pop punk for a wider audience. Formed in 1992 as Magnified Plaid, the trio of Mike Herrera, Tom Wisniewski, and Yuri Ruley became known through releases such as Pokinatcha, Teenage Politics, Life in General, Slowly Going the Way of the Buffalo, The Ever Passing Moment, Panic, and later self-released work including Find a Way Home. MxPx fit accepted scope through punk rock, pop punk, and skate punk, with songs that balance fast tempos, clean hooks, and a working-band sense of persistence. Their music often focuses on youth, doubt, friendship, touring, faith, distance, and trying to stay steady as life changes. Herrera's voice is central to the identity, giving even the most polished choruses a plainspoken quality. The band crossed from Tooth & Nail roots to major-label exposure and then into an independent career without losing the core trio format. MxPx's lasting value comes from consistency and melodic craft. They write direct punk songs that feel approachable without losing speed, and their catalog maps how a young scene band can grow older without abandoning its original pulse.
Carbondale, Illinois thrash act Mxtxrbreath arrived in 2023 with a stripped-down, aggro approach to the genre, their vowel-stripped name signaling an aesthetic that values grit over polish.
My Andromeda is a melodic doom/death metal band from Ust-Labinsk, Russia, formed in 2018. They craft crushing doom-death compositions steeped in oppressive heaviness.
My Bloodline is a groove metal, hard rock, and alternative rock band from Helsinki, Finland, formed in 2026. They blend heavy groove metal with accessible rock influences.
