Heavy/power metal band from São Paulo formed in 1987, led by guitarist Affonso Jr., who remained the central figure across the band's changing lineups. The band issued a cassette release in 1989 and a full-length album in 1990, occupying an atypical position in the Brazilian metal scene with a range extending from symphonic passages to thrash-influenced material.
Revenge Attack is a thrash metal band from Erfurt, the capital of Thuringia in Germany, formed in 2020. The band delivers aggressive thrash from the medieval city in the heart of central Germany.
Považská Bystrica melodic groove metal and metalcore act formed in 2017, blending melodic hooks with heavy rhythms and breakdowns from northwestern Slovakia. Their accessible approach draws power from multiple modern metal traditions.
Thrash/death metal band from Udine in northeastern Italy, formed in 2024. Their approach delivers aggressive extreme metal from the Friuli capital.
Revenge Prevails is a black/death metal band from Uddevalla, Sweden, formed in 2013. Their releases including 'Jaws of Janus' and 'Black Void Injection' deliver dark, intense extreme metal with an ominous atmospheric edge.
New Jersey's Revenge Ritual emerged in 2023 dragging sludge metal's lurching, tar-thick riffs through the confrontational energy of hardcore, producing a sound that is as punishing as it is raw. The collision of sludge's slow-burn heaviness with hardcore's short-fuse intensity is a volatile combination, and Revenge Ritual lean into the tension rather than resolving it. Still early in their existence, they've already staked out a sound with real teeth.
Arlington, Massachusetts's Revengeance have been delivering high-octane power/speed metal since 2012, channeling the fist-pumping bombast of classic European power metal through the razor-edged velocity of American speed metal. Their sound is unapologetically epic — twin guitar harmonies, soaring vocals, and tempos that never let up — which cuts against Boston's more indie-leaning reputation and plants a flag for the region's underserved metal faithful. Over a decade in, they remain one of New England's most enthusiastic proponents of pure metallic excess.
Revengefield is a grindcore/goregrind/death metal project from Germany, formed in 2020. The project channels relentless blast beats and guttural extremity across the spectrum of grind and death metal.
Revengia is a groove/heavy metal band from Varberg, Sweden, active since 2015. The band combines the rhythmic weight of groove metal with heavy metal hooks from Sweden's west coast.
