Omni Gear emerged in 2016 from the ashes of Rebel Machine, a heavy metal act the same members had been running since 2005, bringing a harder power metal focus to the new project. Their lyrical universe runs through science fiction, political commentary, and social themes, and the band placed the track "Fever Dream" on the Natal Metal Compilation III released through Dio Records.
Black metal band from Potenza in southern Italy's Basilicata region, active since 2007. Their Latin-named project, meaning 'all evil is,' delivers nearly two decades of black metal from one of Italy's most mountainous and isolated provinces.
Badajoz heavy metal/hard rock act from Extremadura, active since 2019. Their classic approach draws from the deep well of traditional European heavy metal, delivered with a warmth befitting Spain's sun-drenched southwestern frontier.
Progressive metal band from Jyväskylä, Finland, active since 2010. Their long-running project delivers technically ambitious progressive metal from central Finland.
Little Rock's Omnibane drag sludge metal's slow, suffocating weight into hardcore's more volatile territory, building something that's both brutally heavy and shot through with urgency. Formed in 2019, they're Arkansas's own contribution to the South's ongoing sludge/hardcore conversation.
Minsk progressive metal project active since 2019, crafting technically demanding compositions with a philosophical bent. Operating in a country with limited infrastructure for progressive metal, the project channels its ambitions primarily through digital releases.
Boras death metal act formed in 2021, representing the textile-industry town between Gothenburg and Jonkoping. Their unrelenting approach to death metal favors all-encompassing sonic destruction without restraint.
Los Angeles death/thrash unit Omnicide carve through breakneck riff structures with a ferocity that owes equal debt to early Morbid Angel and the Bay Area thrash tradition. Since forming in 2012 they have kept their attack tight, mean, and relentlessly forward-moving.
German death metal project formed in 2025, representing the newest wave of the country's prolific death metal underground. Early material suggests an uncompromising approach to the genre's most punishing tendencies.
