NMLSS_VGR is an atmospheric black metal project from Versmold in North Rhine-Westphalia, active since 2019. The cryptically abbreviated project delivers immersive atmospheric black metal from the Westphalian countryside.
NNGNN is a black/thrash metal band from Edinburgh, Scotland, active since 2014. Their sound fuses black metal's atmospheric darkness with the speed and aggression of thrash from the Scottish capital.
Virginia's Nnunn traffic in a murky, claustrophobic blend of atmospheric death and black metal that surfaced in 2021 with a sound that feels as though it was excavated rather than written. The band operates in shadowy territory where death metal's crushing weight bleeds into black metal's spectral dissonance, producing something that feels genuinely unmoored and unsettling.
No Amnesty is a thrash metal band from Sant Boi de Llobregat near Barcelona, active since 2013. The band delivers merciless thrash from the Catalan capital's metropolitan area.
No Belief is a power/doom metal band from Ceske Budejovice in southern Bohemia, active since 2016. The band fuses the grandeur of power metal with the crushing weight of doom from the historic Budweiser city.
Self-described as "deadly corrosive crossover," this Brasília five-piece — led by vocalist Lauro "Zapata" and guitarist Gabriel "Zenön" — released their debut full-length Corrosive Hatred in November 2021, a ten-track assault recorded at Texas Studio. The record blends thrash riffing with hardcore-punk velocity and a powerviolence-adjacent ferocity, with tracks like "Destroy the State" and "Underground is Not a Competition" making the band's antagonistic stance explicit.
No Bros is a heavy metal and hard rock band from Innsbruck, Austria, active since 2013. The band keeps the flame of classic heavy metal and hard rock alive in the alpine Tyrolean capital.
Łosice thrash metal act with hardcore influences, formed in 2013 and delivering aggressive energy from the small Masovian border town. Their crossover approach channels the raw spirit of both traditions.
No Concession is a thrash metal band from Valladolid in Castile and Leon, active since 2012. The band makes no compromises in their approach to thrash metal from the historic capital of Old Castile.
