Madrid melodic death metal/metalcore act with roots reaching back to 2009, making them one of the Spanish capital's longer-running modern extreme acts. Their blend of Gothenburg-style melody with metalcore structure has evolved considerably over fifteen years.
One of Them is a Porto Alegre thrash metal outfit whose 2019 album Blind Faith, recorded at Hurricane Studio with producer Sebastian Carsin, brought together vocalist GG Mussi, guitarists Jeff Witt and Ivan Santos, bassist Alexandre Guterres, and drummer Jonas Koehler. The record marked a new phase for the band, arriving roughly a decade after their debut EP I Am One of Them and featuring a Portuguese-language track for the first time.
Athens' One of These Days grinds through an uncompromising fusion of death metal and grindcore, delivering short, sharp bursts of controlled chaos. Their aggressive approach channels the intensity of early Napalm Death and Terrorizer.
Delft thrash/groove metal act active since 2012, delivering rhythmically driven metal from the Dutch city famous for its pottery. Over a decade they have refined a style that pairs thrash's velocity with groove metal's head-nodding heaviness.
Groove metal, metalcore, and hardcore band from Krasnogorsk near Moscow, active since 2013. Their dystopian name frames aggressive modern metal with a sociopolitical edge.
One Third of the Angels is a black metal duo formed by Ricardo Echeverria, also known from One Cross, and Wagner Santos, who plays in Nox Caelum and Revogar. The project surfaced in 2023 with the single "My Darkest Memory," channeling a cold, atmospheric approach rooted in the South Brazilian underground scene both members have long inhabited.
One Thousand Dead play a direct, old-school-rooted blend of thrash and death metal in the tradition of early Brazilian extreme metal. Their debut full-length Guerra, released through RTR Records in November 2022, compiles ten tracks that the band began developing during the COVID-19 pandemic after signing a multi-album deal with the label.
Gothic, alternative metal/rock, and metalcore band from Gothenburg, Sweden, active since 2009. Their long-running project blends gothic atmosphere with metalcore dynamics and alternative accessibility.
Swiss progressive metal project launched in 2020, exploring complex compositional structures and unconventional song forms. The project takes an ambitious, genre-fluid approach to heavy music that resists easy categorization.
