Progressive metal/rock band from The Hague, the Netherlands, active since 2015. Their approach delivers technically ambitious progressive compositions from the Dutch political capital.
Resonance Cascade is a grindcore band from Malmö/Osby, Sweden, active since 2014. Operating under the motto 'NO FUN - NO TREND - NO ART - JUST GRIND,' the four-piece delivers straightforward, no-frills grindcore including a split with Järnbörd.
Progressive/doom/gothic metal band from Catania, Sicily, active since 2009. Their ambitious three-genre approach delivers richly atmospheric metal from the foot of Mount Etna.
Resonant Soul is a death/doom metal band from Aubagne near Marseille in Provence, France, formed in 2025. The band delivers crushing doom-death from the southern French Mediterranean coast.
Resonare is a German black metal project formed in 2018, exploring atmospheric and melodic dimensions of the genre. The project maintains a deliberately understated presence in the German underground.
Stoner/doom metal band from Trondheim, Norway, active since 2010. Their space-themed name accompanies hazy, crushing stoner doom from Norway's third city.
Respawn is a thrash metal band from Berlin, Germany, formed in 2016. The band adds to Berlin's substantial thrash metal roster with aggressive, high-speed riffing.
Respice Finem is a melodic death metal band from Rouen in Normandy, France, active since 2010. Named from the Latin phrase 'consider the end,' the band delivers melodic death metal from the historic Norman capital.
Boston's Respiratory Secretion arrived in 2024 with the kind of medical-horror aesthetics and surgical brutality that define the most extreme end of brutal death metal. Still fresh, they've positioned themselves squarely in the lineage of pathological gore-obsessed BDM bands that prioritize density and ferocity over accessibility. A vile and promising debut into one of metal's most uncompromising subgenres.
