Symphonic and power metal band from London, England, formed in 2009, named after the Oracle at Delphi. They deliver dramatic, orchestrally enhanced power metal with commanding vocal performances.
Toledo, Ohio's Pythian stake their claim in the slow and suffocating territory where sludge, doom, and post-metal converge, crafting ponderous, emotionally weighted compositions that reflect the decay and resilience of their Great Lakes rust-belt surroundings since 2019.
A Brooklyn, New York project that bends psychedelic doom into experimental territory, Python draws on the city's eclectic underground to produce hazy, hallucinatory heaviness that drifts far from conventional song structure into something genuinely strange and immersive.
Rock Hill, New York's Python carry the torch of no-frills thrash metal, delivering the genre's classic hallmarks — rapid-fire riffing, aggressive delivery, and a raw attack — from the Hudson Valley's underground metal community since forming in 2017.
A funeral doom metal project hailing from North Dakota, Pythonissam emerged in 2021 with the genre's characteristic geological patience, stretching grief and desolation across enormous sonic expanses in a state where isolation and emptiness translate naturally into the form.
Floral Park, New York's Pytt are a death metal act formed in 2023, bringing the underground aggression of the greater New York metropolitan area to bear through a sound rooted in the genre's foundational brutality and uncompromising intensity.
Technical death metal band from Turku, Finland, formed in 2011, delivering technically intricate death metal from Finland's former capital. Their medical-term name suits the clinical precision of their compositions.
Industrial black metal band from Stavanger, Norway, formed in 2013, merging cold industrial textures with black metal from the southwest Norwegian coast. They bring mechanical darkness to the Rogaland scene.
