A grindcore-death metal hybrid from the Moravian town of Bystřice pod Hostýnem, Psychopathia has been grinding since 2018. Their brief, explosive compositions channel the genre's finest traditions — Carcass's medical horror meets Napalm Death's social fury.
Death metal and grindcore band from Kirov, Russia, formed in 2018, delivering pathological extremity from the Vyatka River city. They bring grinding death metal to the Russian northeast.
Brunswick's Psychophobia has been channeling melodic blackened death metal since 2019, blending Scandinavian melodicism with atmospheric black metal textures. Their Lower Saxon ducal-city base provides a historically rich setting for their darkly beautiful compositions.
Boston groove metal outfit Psychopomp, formed in 2017, build their sound around thick, churning rhythms and a hard-edged attack that reflects New England's long tradition of no-nonsense heavy music, leaning hard into feel and impact over flash.
Black metal band from Portugal, formed in 2017, named after the Greek term for guides of the dead to the afterlife. They channel psychopompic darkness through atmospheric black metal.
Not to be confused with the countless other bands sharing their name, Sofia's Phoenix has been crafting ambitious heavy metal with progressive flourishes since 2013. Their Bulgarian roots inform a melodic sensibility that sets them apart from the more extreme end of the local scene.
From Greenwood Lake, New Jersey, Psychoprism have been crafting soaring, melodically ambitious power metal since 2014 — their sound draws on the European tradition of anthemic choruses and twin-guitar work, filtered through a distinctly East Coast perspective.
Aachen's Psychoroll has been rolling through melodic death metal territory since 2019, adding rhythmic swagger to Gothenburg-style harmonies. Their western German border-city base places them at the crossroads of German, Belgian, and Dutch metal traditions.
Psychosane formed in Ribeirão Preto in 2013 as an Adrenaline Mob covers band, taking their name from a track on that band's debut album "Omertá," before evolving into original material. The current lineup features Marcelo Seabra on vocals, Heuler Schivo on guitar, Leonardo Balaban on bass, and Roberto Jean on drums; the band released their debut EP "Laws of Aggression" on September 30, 2019.
