San Antonio's Order of Living arrived in 2025 armed with crossover thrash, hardcore, and metal that hits like a freight train made of equal parts D.R.I. and Slayer. Texas has produced plenty of scene-hardened thrash acts, and this one wastes no time announcing itself.
Welsh act Order of Tepes, named after the historical Vlad Tepes, channels vampiric black metal with a raw, underground aesthetic rooted in the Risca scene. Their atmospheric compositions pay tribute to the Romanian-inspired darkness of early black metal.
Northwich's Order of the Black Guard delivers unrelenting black metal with a militant precision and cold, nihilistic atmosphere. Their tight, blast-driven compositions channel the intensity of Marduk and Dark Funeral.
Athens black metal act formed in 2019, drawing on ritualistic and esoteric themes within the Hellenic black metal tradition. Their ceremonial approach to composition distinguishes them from the more chaotic end of the Greek black metal spectrum.
Black/death metal band from Campobasso in Italy's Molise region, formed in 2020. Their militant name accompanies aggressive extreme metal from one of Italy's least-populated regions.
Portland, Oregon's Order of the Vulture have spent over two decades grinding together death metal, crust, and hardcore into something raw and righteous, a sound indebted equally to the pit and the protest. Few acts in the Pacific Northwest underground have aged with as much integrity.
Named for a star in the Serpens constellation, Fond Du Lac, Wisconsin's Order of Unukalhai weave black metal, doom, and post-metal into cosmic, slow-burning compositions that feel genuinely vast. Their music reaches for something distant and cold, like starlight arriving from the deep past.
Italian technical death metal project active since 2017, pushing death metal's technical boundaries with precision and compositional ambition. Their cathedral-evoking name hints at the architectural grandeur they bring to their meticulously constructed compositions.
Belgian blackened thrash/heavy metal and punk band from Ghent, formed in 2022 and fusing multiple aggressive styles. Their volatile blend merges blackened ferocity, thrash speed, and punk rawness.
