Maruntuka is a black/sludge metal act from Warsaw, formed in 2022. The band merges the cold atmosphere of black metal with the crushing weight of sludge from the Polish capital.
Maruta formed in Miami, Florida in 2005, blurring the boundaries between grindcore and technical death metal through a relentlessly dense compositional approach. The band released In Narcosis (2008) and Forward Into Regression (2011) on Willowtip Records to strong critical reception, with the latter scoring a nine out of ten from Decibel magazine, before a brief dissolution and reformation led to their third album Remain Dystopian (2015) on Relapse Records. Their precision within extreme speed and their refusal to simplify the technical elements of their writing set them apart within the Florida grindcore underground.
Marutaud was a metal band from Tallinn, Estonia, now defunct. The group cycled through multiple vocalists and bassists across their tenure, leaving behind a self-titled album and a demo before disbanding with the epitaph 'Once from Estonia. No more, no longer.'
Marvinz Troma is a blackened death metal project from Rennes, emerging in 2023 with a name that nods to the B-movie horror studio Troma Entertainment. The project channels that same low-budget, gore-soaked aesthetic into extreme metal.
A groove metal and metalcore act from Budapest, Bloodiest has been delivering rhythmically driven aggression since 2011. The band pairs heavy grooves with metalcore breakdowns.
Mary Had a Little Goat is a post-metal and rock band from Zadar, Croatia, formed in 2021. Their irreverent name belies their serious approach to atmospheric post-metal.
Maryonmeth is a black metal band from Besançon, France, formed in 2018. They channel dark French black metal from the Franche-Comté region.
MarysCreek is a heavy metal act from Linköping, active since 2013. The band delivers melodic, accessible heavy metal from the southeastern Swedish city.
Marz is a NWOBHM-inspired heavy metal act from the Lincolnshire town of Grantham, active since 2018. The band channels the spirit of the original New Wave of British Heavy Metal into modern compositions.
