Stoner doom and drone band from Belém, Pará, Brazil, active since 2018. They self-released Demo Sessions in March 2018 and followed it with Demo Sessions Vol II in March 2019, both featuring extended tracks in the five-to-seven-minute range rooted in heavy, psychedelic riffing.
Portland, Oregon's Reptilikus came roaring out in 2019 with the kind of speed-driven, riff-forward thrash that pays direct homage to Bay Area's early-80s aggression. In a city with a thriving underground scene, they've sharpened their sound on the whetstone of Pacific Northwest metal traditions. Infectious, frantic, and unapologetically old-school.
Reptiloid is a Berlin-based blackened sludge metal project formed in 2018, self-describing their sound as 'acid sludge from Berlin.' Their 2018 album Déclin delivers four tracks of experimental, corroded sludge incorporating noise, post-metal, and industrial textures.
Repudiate is a brutal death metal band from Paris, France, formed in 2017. The band delivers uncompromising brutality from the French capital's extreme metal underground.
Repugnance is a death metal and grindcore band from Mieres in Asturias, northern Spain, active since 2014. The band channels extreme aggression from the mining valleys of the Asturian interior.
Repugnant was a death metal band from Beveren, East Flanders, Belgium, who appeared on the cassette compilation 'Screams of Death' on the Lowland-Terror label. Though their output was limited, the band was part of the tight-knit East Flemish underground death metal circuit of their era.
Folk metal band from York, England, formed in 2025. Their deliberately absurd name accompanies folk metal from the ancient Viking city.
Repugnant God is a death metal band from Turku in southwestern Finland, formed in 2015. The band delivers blasphemous death metal from Finland's oldest city.
