Siegen's Panacea has been administering thrash metal since 2018, an ironic name for a band dealing in sonic destruction rather than healing. Their Westphalian industrial city roots lend a blue-collar authenticity to their riff-driven assault.
Atmospheric doom and black metal band from Moscow, Russia, formed in 2017, whose clever name wordplay signals the painful entertainment of their music. They craft dark, immersive atmospheres from the Russian capital.
Power metal band from Arvidsjaur, Sweden, formed in 2015, delivering melodic power metal from above the Arctic Circle. They bring anthemic metal from one of the northernmost metal outposts in Sweden.
Strasbourg's Paramnesia has been a crucial voice in the French atmospheric black metal movement since 2013, crafting epic, cascading compositions that rival the Alsatian cathedral city's architectural grandeur. Their Franco-German border setting adds a cultural complexity to their already layered sound.
Melodic heavy metal and hard rock band from Gothenburg, Sweden, formed in 2013, delivering hook-laden melodic metal from Sweden's metal capital. Over a decade of accessible, riff-driven metal.
Saginaw, Michigan's Pancreas wade through the slow-motion collision of doom and sludge, creating something physically oppressive enough to match the post-industrial weight of their struggling rust-belt city. Active since 2012, they build riffs like they're pouring concrete.
Grindcore and goregrind band from Eindhoven, Netherlands, formed in 2015, dealing in medically themed sonic extremity from the birthplace of Eindhoven metal. Their clinical name suits the surgical precision of their grindcore.
Slam, brutal death metal, deathcore, and grindcore band from Denny, Scotland, formed in 2017, delivering surgical-precision extremity. Their medical-procedure name matches the visceral brutality of their sound.
Black metal band from Sweden, formed in 2020, summoning demonic chaos through aggressive black metal. They bring pandemonium to the Swedish black metal underground.
