A very recent entry from Franklin, Kentucky, Propaganda Machine formed in 2024 and hit the ground running with a groove/thrash attack that owes as much to mid-period Pantera as it does to the riff-first mentality of classic Bay Area thrash. The band's name signals the confrontational, politically charged energy that tends to run beneath the surface of their style.
One-man black metal and dungeon synth project from Konjic, Bosnia and Herzegovina, created by the artist Inferno in 2024. The project dwells on themes of suicide, depression, psychosis, and despair across a prolific catalog that blends harsh black metal with ambient soundscapes.
Thrash and death metal band from Lipetsk, Russia, formed in 2010, spinning thrash-death aggression from central Russia for over fifteen years. They bring relentless rotational energy to the Russian underground.
Marietta, Ohio's Proper Burial have been delivering straightforward, no-frills death metal since 2016, the kind of small-town American underground band whose regional isolation arguably sharpens rather than dulls their edge. Rooted in old-school death metal aesthetics, they favor punishing mid-paced riffs and a murky atmosphere over technical showmanship.
Barcelona's Pvrgatorii emerged in 2021 fusing black metal's atmospheric menace with punk's urgency and accessibility. Their stylized Latin name and Catalan base connect them to a Mediterranean tradition of black-punk crossover that prizes energy over orthodoxy.
Brutal death metal band from Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, formed in 2013, bringing crushing death metal from the Canary Islands. They prove that extreme metal thrives even in the subtropical Atlantic.

Death metal and grindcore band from Tewkesbury, England, who later evolved into doom and death metal territory. Their stylistic journey from grinding extremity to crushing doom reflects a deepening heaviness over their career.
Doom and sludge metal band from Saint Petersburg, Russia, formed in 2016, delivering prophetic doom and crushing sludge from the northern capital. They bring nearly a decade of weighty prophecy.
