Sandomierz melodic death metal act formed in 2021, weaving melodic sophistication through death metal's aggressive framework from one of Poland's most historic medieval cities. Their approach channels Scandinavian melodeath's emotive range.
Night Games is a NWOBHM-influenced melodic heavy metal and hard rock band from Gwent, Wales, formed in 2016. Their sound pays homage to the New Wave of British Heavy Metal with melodic songwriting and classic hard rock energy.
Roman doom metal act formed in 2014, named after the Lovecraftian creatures that haunt the Dreamlands. Their crushing, slow-burning heaviness channels the cosmic dread and oppressive atmosphere of their literary namesakes.
Named after the Melvins song, Night Goat started out rooted in raw black metal before pivoting toward a sludgier, more atmospheric sound on their 2023 full-length Totem (Black Donut Records), which drew comparisons to death rock and noise-heavy doom. Their debut Milk (2019) and subsequent work through Podreira Records trace a restless band that treats genre as a loose suggestion rather than a fixed address.
Portland's Night Heir bend and fracture black metal into something restless and unpredictable, injecting experimental impulses that corrode the genre's familiar shapes from within. Over a decade of quietly transgressive work.
Night Hunter is a heavy metal band from Archena in the Murcia region, active since 2020. The band stalks the night with classic heavy metal from southeastern Spain.
Night in Gales is a melodic death metal band from Voerde in North Rhine-Westphalia, active since 1997. Nearly three decades of melodic death metal make them one of the most enduring acts in the German melodeath scene.
Night King is a Norwegian heavy metal project formed in 2024. They reign over classic heavy metal territory with commanding authority.
Night Laser is a sleaze and glam metal band from Hamburg, self-described as a leading act of the new generation of German metal, with over 250 concerts under their belt. Their three albums from 'Laserhead' through 'Call Me What You Want' have earned them a reputation as an incredible live band across Europe.
