Lemele extreme progressive metal/rock act from rural Overijssel, formed in 2022. Their small-village origins and genre-defying approach -- blending extreme metal with progressive rock sensibilities -- mark them as one of the Dutch underground's more unconventional acts.
Greater Poland black metal project active since 2016, channeling raw hostility from the Wielkopolska region. Their Polish name -- meaning 'abomination' -- signals the transgressive, boundary-pushing character of their output.
Belgian black/death metal band from Charleroi, active since 2009 and channeling Celtic pagan themes through extreme metal. Their Gaelic name adds a layer of ancient Celtic mysticism to their blackened death assault.
Toulon stoner/thrash metal act from the French Riviera, active since 2016. Their petroleum-tinged name suits a style that blends stoner rock's dirty grooves with thrash metal's velocity, all baked under the Provencal sun.
Thunderous Blackened Sludge Metal from Dallas/Denton, Texas / New York, New York.
Heavy Sludge / Groove Metal out of Texas.
Ojos Negros is a thrash metal band from San Justo, Buenos Aires, active since 1993 and one of the longer-running acts in their local scene. The band released the album Lágrimas de Odio in 1997 and is signed to the Nacido Muerto label. Their lineup includes vocalist Eduardo Tarascio alongside guitarist Claudio Ferrara and drummer Christian Ferrara.
Boston's OK Goodnight emerged from Berklee College of Music as a modern progressive metal band that channels the ambition of Dream Theater and The Mars Volta through a cinematic, narrative-driven lens. Vocalist Casey Lee Williams, guitarist Martin de Lima, and drummer Augusto Bussio craft concept albums like 'The Fox and the Bird' that pair technical virtuosity with emotionally resonant storytelling. Their Berklee-honed musicianship elevates prog metal conventions with sophisticated composition and dynamic range.
London-based Okami brings precision-guided thrash metal to the UK capital, combining technical riffing with aggressive tempos and tight rhythmic execution. Their polished yet ferocious sound sits at the intersection of classic thrash and modern metal production.
