No Sun Rises is a German atmospheric and post-black metal project active since 2016. The project's bleakly evocative name captures the eternal darkness of their atmospheric approach.
Out of Brookline, New Hampshire, No Thanks have been working a groove-inflected thrash metal sound since 2014 — thick mid-paced riffs punctuated by bursts of speed, with the kind of headbang-ready rhythmic sensibility that sits between Pantera's stomping groove and the classic thrash template. They represent the kind of meat-and-potatoes heavy metal that the New England underground quietly sustains year after year.
No Title is a grindcore, death metal, and punk band from Sofia, Bulgaria, formed in 2018. The project's deliberately anti-branding name reflects a raw, DIY ethos that permeates their chaotic fusion of grind and punk.
Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania's No Warning Shot have been grinding since 2006, blending grindcore's explosive brevity with death metal's heaviness into something abrasive and unrelenting. Two decades in the Northeastern underground have given them a hardened, no-ceremony approach to extreme music — short, punishing tracks that arrive without announcement and end before there's time to recover.
Thrash metal act from Alexandroupoli in Greece's far northeast, formed in 2020 and delivering aggressive riffing from the border region of Western Thrace. Their geographic isolation from Athens' scene lends an independent spirit to their sound.
Modena heavy/thrash metal outfit formed in 2014, delivering aggressive riffing from the heart of Emilia-Romagna's motor valley. Their dual approach draws from heavy metal's melodic power and thrash's relentless speed.
Phoenix's No Zodiac arrived in 2017 carving out a brutal space where death metal's gore-drenched extremity slams headfirst into hardcore's pit-tested physicality. Their brand of brutal death metal/hardcore fusion is built for maximum bodily impact — breakdowns that feel seismic, blastbeats that transition into beatdown sections, drawing on the desert city's history of producing some of the most physically intense underground heavy music in the American Southwest.
No.sar is a metalcore band from the Bregenzerwald region of Vorarlberg, Austria, forming in 2019. The project brings modern metalcore aggression to one of Austria's more remote alpine valleys.
No.Way! is a Viennese heavy metal band that has been forging classic metal since 2012. With over a decade of activity, the band is a fixture in Vienna's traditional heavy metal community.
