Los Angeles' Masi blend neoclassical shred sensibility with heavy metal's bombast, led by guitarwork that prioritizes technical precision and melodic grandeur. An LA institution in the tradition of the city's technically oriented metal lineage.
A heavy metal and hard rock act from the western Hungarian border city of Sopron, Masina has been delivering riff-driven music since 2020. The band brings classic metal energy to the gateway between Hungary and Austria.
Masjjid is a black metal project from Franconia, Germany, formed in 2022, featuring Middle Eastern-influenced pseudonyms and thematic elements. Their releases "Aintishar" and the "Easal Alkhalifa" EP blend black metal ferocity with an aesthetic rooted in Arabic mysticism and cultural imagery.
Boline Ritual is a doom metal act from the lakeside city of Veszprém, formed in 2024. Named after the ritual knife used in Wiccan practice, the band channels occult themes into crushing, glacially paced doom.
Mask of Prospero is a progressive metal band from Athens, Greece, formed in 2018, having evolved into progressive metalcore and djent. Their creative evolution reflects an embrace of modern progressive metal's rhythmic complexity.
Mask of Satan is a horror-death metal trio from Tampere, Finland, formed in February 2015. Their self-titled release channels horror-themed extremity through a lean lineup of guitars, bass/vocals, and drums, anchored by tracks like 'Corpsewitch.'
Mask of Semblant is a deliberately anonymous progressive/melodic death metal outfit whose members have kept their identities hidden since the band's formation. Their debut EP Existence (2017) mapped the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse across six tracks, while the follow-up Dead Tales (2018) shifted the lyrical lens toward earthly decadence and civilizational rot, both recorded at Socoloski Recordings in Florianópolis.
Los Angeles' Masked Jackal have been delivering no-frills, pit-ready thrash since 2018, channeling the genre's most primal instincts without complication. In a city full of metal, they stand out for their relentless commitment to aggression.
Maskim is a thrash/speed metal act from Rome, formed in 2022 and named after the Mesopotamian demons of chaos. The band delivers razor-sharp riffing with an ancient, mythological edge from the Eternal City.
