Buchloe's Psycho Mania has been thrashing with Bavarian intensity since 2016, channeling the genre's '80s heyday through an Allgäu lens. Their Swabian market-town origins produce a sound fueled by blue-collar energy and punk-adjacent attitude.
Melodic death metal band from Rzeszow, Poland, formed in 2018, channeling disturbed visions through melodic yet aggressive death metal. They bring Scandinavian-influenced melody to the Subcarpathian region.
Psycho Walls is a three-piece from Tucuruí, Pará, formed by Adson Ricardo (drums and vocals), João Paulo Rodrigues (bass and vocals), and Renan Albuquerque (guitar and vocals). The band recorded their debut EP "Get Psyched!" at Albuquerque's home studio in February 2014, releasing it in March of that year with five tracks including "Jeff Groupies," "Big Saloon Of Souls," and "Golden Era."
A Missouri deathcore act launched in 2023, Psycho-Frame blends the pulverizing breakdown architecture of deathcore with death metal's technical savagery, carving out a dense and relentlessly downtuned sound from the American heartland.
Death metal band from Ryazan, Russia, formed in 2015, cutting through the Russian death metal scene with a decade of blade-sharp precision. They bring sharp extremity from central Russia.
