Prometherion grew from guitarist Vinícius Starteri's earlier project Alkimistal, fusing Swedish melodic death metal, New York hardcore, and Bay Area thrash into a sound the band calls modern death metal. The name is a neology blending Prometheus and Therion, reflecting a lyrical focus on how people endure hardship, and the band has maintained activity through SoundCloud and streaming platforms despite internal lineup turbulence.
Black metal band from Pontypool, Wales, formed in 2010, named after the fire-bringing Titan of Greek mythology. They have been igniting the Welsh black metal scene for over a decade.
Promethium are a Lancaster heavy metal band formed in 2007, rooted in classic metal muscle but written and produced with a modern UK hard-rock edge. The band's history traces back to members emerging from earlier local projects and reacting against a narrow thrash-dominated scene by building a broader heavy sound around twin-guitar weight, melodic vocals, and driving rhythms. Their catalog moved from Welcome to the Institution and Origins into the concept-driven Faces of War, the acoustic reinterpretations of Revisions, and the later full-length Bleeding the Ghost. Promethium's songs often balance old-school riffing, groove-heavy sections, and clean-to-distorted dynamics, giving the band a sound that can nod toward NWOBHM tradition while still feeling contemporary. Personnel changes over the years reshaped the vocal attack and sharpened the band's melodic side, but the core identity has remained direct, forceful heavy music designed for energetic live shows and full-band impact.
Heavy and speed metal band from Finland, formed in 2013, delivering classic-sounding heavy and speed metal with anthemic energy. They carry the torch of traditional Finnish metal.
Doom and death metal band from Bryansk, Russia, formed in 2015, delivering crushing doom-death from the western Russian border region. A decade of elevated heaviness from the Bryansk Oblast.
Depressive black metal band from Russia, formed in 2024, whose Latin name means 'before death.' They channel pre-mortem despair through raw depressive black metal.
Brutal death metal and grindcore band from Alzira, Spain, formed in 2014, delivering relentless bursts of extremity from the Valencian region. Their concise name matches the short, sharp brutality of their grindcore output.
Pronoia were a Buenos Aires progressive metal and djent instrumental quartet whose lineup included guitarists Chowy Fernandez and Gabbo Puente, bassist Bruno Tysak Fichera, and drummer Javier Cuello. The band released two albums during their run: Siniestresia in 2008 and Mimesis in December 2018, the latter demonstrating a heavier shift toward djent-inflected sounds before the group eventually split up.
Black metal band from Belluno, Italy, formed in 2018, spreading dark messages through atmospheric black metal from the Dolomite mountains. Their mountain setting infuses their music with cold, alpine grandeur.
