Manhattan Century are a progressive metal band from Upper Austria, founded by brothers Alexander and Florian Artner, with Ritchie Krenmaier (of Stygma IV) on vocals and Michael Notter on drums. Their debut EP 'APE,' recorded during the pandemic, recounts the story of an early human civilization encountering an all-knowing entity across 25 minutes of dense, concept-driven metal. The follow-up album 'MAN' continues that narrative, addressing alienation and the tension between individualism and collectivism in an overstimulated world.
Manheim is a black 'n' roll band from Zabok, Croatia, formed in 2013. They fuse black metal's darkness with rock 'n' roll's infectious energy.
Manhir is a drone and doom metal band from Alton, England, formed in 2013. They craft crushing drone-doom compositions built on sustained heaviness and repetition.
Manhunt is a thrash and black metal band from Turin, Italy, formed in 2013. They fuse thrash aggression with black metal's cold fury from Piedmont.
Connecticut's Maniac play stripped-back, aggressive thrash metal in the vein of the genre's most direct and savage forebears. Southington's small-town grit feeds into a sound that has no interest in polish or restraint.
Boston's Maniac fuse thrash ferocity with speed metal's locomotive momentum, drawing from a city with a long underground pedigree to deliver something fierce and fast. Their approach leans into classic Bay Area and NWOBHM-adjacent energy filtered through a New England lens.
A thrash metal act from the São Paulo coastline, Maniac Force have been grinding out aggressive, no-frills thrash since 2007 with a consistent focus on anti-religious and violent themes. Their discography spans from the 2008 full-length 'Metal Invasion' through to 'Dead Planet' (2012) and the later releases 'Collective Illusion' and 'Psychological Horror,' both from 2019.
Connecticut's Maniacal Violator have been carving out a niche in the black/death underground since 2016, blending the cold hostility of black metal with death metal's brute physicality. Raw, violent, and deliberately unpolished.
A heavy metal act from Sweden, Maniacs has been delivering classic-style metal since 2007. The band channels the frenetic energy of their name into energetic, riff-driven compositions.
