Power Reset is the solo project of Manaus-based bassist, vocalist, and composer Leonardo Oliveira, who channels 1980s and 90s power metal into a symphonic, melodically driven sound with strong technical guitar work. Oliveira has moved quickly, releasing three albums — "My Perfect World" (2020), "Dungeon Master" (2021), and "Son of the Light" (2023) — entirely independently, with the last receiving international distribution including a Japanese edition.
A 2023 thrash-groove metal project from the La Mancha town of Quintanar de la Orden, Prypiat Metal takes nuclear-disaster imagery and channels it through the wind-swept Castilian plateau. Their Cervantes-country origins add literary weight to their aggressive sound.
A 2024 thrash-heavy metal hybrid from the Rieste-Osnabrück area, Power Surge channels the electric energy their name promises. Their Lower Saxon base in the Osnabrück region connects them to a quietly productive corner of the northern German metal scene.
Power metal band from Luhansk, Ukraine, formed in 2017, delivering epic power metal from the embattled eastern Ukrainian city. They bring heroic tales through anthemic metal.
Crossover thrash legends from Dallas. One of the most important heavy bands Texas ever produced. RIP Riley Gale.
Power Within is a power/progressive metal band from Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia, formed in 2016. Their 2018 debut full-length Inception introduced their melodic, technically driven sound, and the band followed it with the 2021 single Esencia. Their lyrical themes explore inner struggles, life, and social issues.

Evolving from pure heavy metal into a heavier thrash-inflected sound, the Premnitz-Rathenow duo Powerage has been building momentum since 2017. Their Brandenburg origins in the former East German heartland add a gritty resilience to their increasingly aggressive approach.
Essen's Powerball has been delivering heavy metal from the heart of the Ruhr Valley since 2020. Their name evokes explosive energy, and their North Rhine-Westphalian base places them amid one of Europe's densest concentrations of metal talent.
