Melodic death metal/metalcore band from Belfast, Northern Ireland, formed in 2022. Their approach bridges melodic death metal with modern metalcore from the Northern Irish capital.
Youthful grunge revivalists from Austin.
Saddle River, New Jersey's Residue emerged in 2018 with a groove metal foundation built for maximum physical impact — locked-in riffing and deep pocket rhythms designed to make small club stages shake. New Jersey's long tradition of straight-ahead heavy music lives in their no-nonsense approach. Dependable, punishing, and unapologetically heavy.
Crossover/thrash band from Campos dos Goytacazes, Rio de Janeiro state, formed in 2010 by vocalist George Campos, guitarist Giovane Henriques, bassist Matheus Fernandes, and drummer Argron César. The band released the demo Massacre Urbano in 2010 and their debut full-length Pesadelo Brasileiro in August 2017, recorded between October and December 2015 at Studio Hammer in Campos dos Goytacazes.
Resilence is a melodic death metal and metalcore band from Barcelona, Spain, active since 2008. Nearly two decades of activity make them a fixture of the Barcelona melodic extreme metal scene.
Resilia is a Florida progressive post-hardcore band founded by guitarist John Benoit in 2018. The project first developed through instrumental releases such as Royal Flush and Gambit, which highlighted intricate guitar work and a clear connection to the melodic, technically agile side of post-hardcore. The lineup solidified with vocalist Daisy Chamberlin, whose presence gave the band a stronger emotional and dynamic center, and the group's later material balanced clean melodic passages, mathy guitar figures, heavier bursts, and fluid rhythmic movement. Well Intentioned: The Name of The Game established the band's personalized version of the modern swancore-adjacent sound, while the lead-up to By A Thread showed a sharper focus on songwriting and production. Resilia's history is still early, but its identity is already distinct: bright guitar interplay, high-mobility arrangements, expressive vocals, and a mix of prog-rock detail with post-hardcore urgency. The music feels built for listeners who want technical movement without losing melody, momentum, or emotional release, and the band's best moments make complexity feel agile rather than crowded or weightless.
Resilience is a death metal band from Málaga in Andalusia, Spain, active since 2000. A quarter century of death metal from the Costa del Sol makes them one of the longest-running death metal acts in southern Spain.
Raleigh's Resin have been mixing groove and sludge metal since 2013, occupying the fertile overlap between Southern heaviness and rhythmic modern metal. North Carolina's triangle region has always supported a diverse heavy underground, and Resin reflect that in a sound that is simultaneously catchy and corrosive. Slow burn with a serious payoff.
Richmond, Virginia's Resin Lung emerged in 2014 from one of the South's most storied heavy music cities, trading in doom and sludge that carries the weight of Richmond's formidable extreme metal legacy. Their compositions move slowly and deliberately, building oppressive atmospheres over long, crushing timescales. In a city that birthed bands like GWAR and Lamb of God, they've found their own suffocating niche.
