Flying the flag of European melodic power metal from Bern since 2015, Pertness delivers anthemic choruses and galloping riffs in the tradition of Helloween and Edguy. Their polished approach and sing-along sensibility make them a reliable fixture on the Swiss power metal circuit.

Aalen's Pissdolls bring a confrontational punk attitude to their heavy-thrash metal since 2016. Their Swabian origins and provocative moniker signal a band more interested in high-energy irreverence than polished professionalism.
Punishing Brutal Death Metal, Ambient / Experimental from San Antonio.
A one-man brutal death metal project that unleashed three full-lengths in quick succession during early 2023, including "Appearance Repugnant," "Overwhelmed By Parasitic Lifeforms," and "The Dead Hungers." The project leans into a relentlessly dense, suffocating sound with an emphasis on inhuman speed and grotesque atmosphere.
Perverse Rites is a black/thrash metal band from Trujillo, Peru, formed in 2010. Drawing on the raw aggression of classic South American black metal and first-wave thrash, the band has released material including the 2020 album Witchsluthaunt. Their lyrical themes center on occult and blasphemous imagery in the tradition of the underground Latin American metal scene.
Black and death metal band from Warsaw, Poland, formed in 2022, practicing dark arts through blackened death metal from the Polish capital. They channel occult malevolence through extreme metal.
Brutal death metal outfit that channels raw fury at war, corruption, and social injustice through punishing low-end riffs and blast-driven aggression, as heard on their 2013 release "Mundo Perverso." Their sound sits firmly in the crushing São Paulo underground tradition, with little room for melody between the punishment.
