Black metal band from Orkelljunga, Sweden, formed in 2017, named after the mythological daughter of Pandora who survived the great flood. Over eight years of mythologically charged black metal from Skane.
Richmond, Virginia's Pyrrhic Salvation bring a technical death metal approach to the city's thriving extreme scene, building intricate, mechanically precise compositions that prioritize compositional complexity and surgical riff construction over brute-force simplicity since 2016.
Brooklyn's Pyrrhon are among the most challenging voices in experimental death metal, dismantling the genre's conventions through dissonant, writhing song structures informed by noise, free jazz, and avant-garde sensibilities that have made them a cult fixture since 2010.
Black and death metal band from Moscow, Russia, formed in 2021, delivering explosive blackened death metal from the Russian capital. They bring dark intensity to Moscow's extreme metal community.
A Long Beach, California death metal act formed in 2024, Pythagoras enters the scene with the raw aggression of the state's longstanding underground tradition, channeling direct and punishing death metal rooted in the Southern California heavy music community.
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.
